Scope and content
Young men in a trench are trained in the use of artillery during the July 1934 Citizen's Military Training Camp (CMTC) at Camp Murray. During the 20's and 30's, young men interested in military careers could receive training in summer camps. These camps filled the gap between a large standing army and totally untrained volunteers. In 1934, for the first time, the camp combined training for the CMTC, ROTC and Officers' Reserve Corps. (T. Times 7/13/1934, pg. 1) TPL-8614
