AI notes: Camp John T. Knight, established in 1942 in Oakland, California, was a key U.S. Army facility during World War II, supporting Pacific operations as part of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation. Named after Brigadier General John T. Knight, the camp published a newspaper called The Service Knight to inform and boost morale among personnel. The camp also hosted Italian Service Units—prisoners of war who aided Allied efforts through labor and participated in community activities. The publication remained active at least through early 1946, and the camp was later absorbed into the Oakland Army Base, retiring its original name.
