Camp Crane, Military training facility in Allentown, United States.
The camp occupied the Lehigh County Agricultural Society fairgrounds, featuring barracks, training areas, and medical facilities for ambulance service preparation.
Between 1917 and 1919, Camp Crane trained over 20,000 volunteers as ambulance drivers and medical personnel for service on the Western Front.
