List of CPS Camps (by Camp Number)

**CPS = Civilian Public Service, an alternative service for conscientious objectors to war during WWII**

Numbers were assigned to camps as they were established, not necessarily in the order in which the camps were opened.
Camp #3 was the first to be opened, in May 1941. Camps #38, 65, 96, 99, 101 & 145 were suspended before they opened
