Scope and content
Soldiers seated at bench-style tables in mess hall during the July 1934 Citizen's Military Training Camp (CMTC) at Camp Murray. During the 20s and 30s, young men interested in military careers could obtain valuable experience at these camps. The work was hard, but the food was plentiful and good. The camps were intended to bridge the gap between a large wartime standing army and green military recruits. (T. Times 7/13/1934, pg. 1) (WSHS)
