Twenty-five thousand officers and men formed the outline of the Liberty Bell at Camp Dix, New Jersey, a training post that grew rapidly after the United States entered the First World War in 1917. The record names the arrangement the Human Liberty Bell and credits General Hugh L. Scott as commander.
