Several military officials wearing overcoats salute troops at Governor's Review at National Guard camp. Governor Clarence Martin, second from left, removes his silk hat. Washington's 3000 National Guardsmen went on parade in full force on June 18, 1939, to pay annual honors to their commander-in-chief, Governor Clarence D. Martin. The Review concluded a fifteen day training period at Camp Moss (Murray). Brig. Gen. Maurice Thompson, adjutant general of the Guard, and Brig. Gen. Carlos Penington, camp commander, invited the general public to attend the impressive ceremonies. 3000 accepted the invitation. Due to inclement weather, the elaborate Governor's Concert featuring regimental bands was cancelled. (T.Times, 6-17-39, p. 1, 6-19-39, p. 1, 14) ALBUM 10
