Scope and content
On September 25, 1941, new recruits for Tacoma's units of Washington State Guard are pictured at the State Armory, lined up for drilling. Tacoma had about 80 volunteers, drawn mostly from the ranks of those ineligible for active military service. They came from all walks of life, professions and trades. Tacoma's units needed about 100 additional volunteers to replace those Guardsmen now serving on active duty. (T. Times 9/26/1941, pg. 1)
