Several years ago I came across an article on Camp Colt, a WW1 tank training facility (1918-1919) located at Gettysburg on 176 acres of the Codori farm, 10 acres of the Smith farm, and 6 acres in the Bryan House area. The article stated that the front slope of Little Round Top was used as target practice for the tanks, which seems nothing less than sacrilegious. Can anyone confirm this really happened? I know a lot of the rocks in the area were removed in the early days after the war to accommodate the tourist trade.
