During the Second World War, the Vernon Military Camp was the most important army training facility in the interior of British Columbia. Thousands of Canadian citizens became soldiers in
Vernon between 1939 and 1946. Not only was the Vernon camp a basic training centre, but also
a detention centre, an army headquarters, a military hospital, and a specialized battle drill school.
