Scope and content
Tacoma's famous Troop B demonstrates some trick riding at the 1935 Washington National Guard encampment at Camp Murray, Camp A.H. Hankins. A guardsman on a horse jumps over three of his fellow national guard members, posing mischievously under umbrellas. Troop B is actually designated as the Headquarters Troop, 24th Cavalry Division, Washington National Guard and it is the oldest military organization in the state. This group is part of the 7,000 enlisted men and 600 officers taking part in the 15 day field training. (T. Times 6/12/1935, pg. 1)
