- A Cigarette Camp was one of a number of temporary U.S. Army "tent cities" situated principally around the French ports of Le Havre and Marseilles following their captures by Allied Forces in the wake of the Allied D-Day invasion in June 1944 and Operation Dragoon in August 1944. Le Havre camps were located in an area the Army designated the "Red Horse" staging area and named after popular brands, including Camps Lucky Strike, Old Gold, and Pall Mall. Another group of temporary camps established at the same time in France took their names from United States cities and are referred to as "City Camps". A single Cigarette Camp, Tophat, was located in Antwerp, Belgium. The Cigarette Camps were administered by the 89th Infantry Division, headquartered at Bois-Guillaume, near Rouen. (en)
- Les camps cigarette étaient des camps de transit pour les soldats américains, à leur arrivée en France ou en attendant d'être reconduits aux États-Unis. Ils furent installés en Seine-Maritime, à proximité du port du Havre, principal port de transit, désigné sous le nom de code 16th Port (16e port). Les camps cigarette tiennent leurs appellations des marques commerciales de cigarettes américaines distribuées à cette époque. Ce choix fut dicté par une recherche de sécurité en temps de guerre: leur nom ne fournit aucune indication permettant à l'ennemi de localiser ces camps alors que des dizaines de milliers de soldats devaient y séjourner pour un temps plus ou moins long.
