Military personnel lounge on the grass listening to a speaker located under the tent at the June 1934 Washington National Guard encampment at Camp Murray. The encampment was held each year to train the guard in military exercises. In 1934, the encampment was named "Camp Draper." The Wa. National Guard was established in 1884 under Territorial Governor Watson C. Squire to protect the state, preserve law and order and support the national armed forces.
