Camp Mathews, the lost infantry school
By: John Gray
In the early 1960’s, I took Marine Corps Military Science while in high school in El Cajon, Ca. Our Instructor was Lt Col Stidhan. His duty station was at Camp Mathews. He taught armor recon. During Spring Break and Summer camp, our high school detachment would receive our down and dirty instruction there. When I joined the Corps in 1966, Camp Mathews was no longer there & we had our rifle range at Edson Range, Camp Pendleton. It’s a real small world, especially in our beloved Corps
