10th Field Artillery, Battalion F at the Western Washington Fair, Puyallup, Washington. Soldiers with horsedrawn wagons and cannon. Fair buildings and track in background. Friday, September 17, 1926, was both Tacoma and Army Day at the Western Washington Fair. Camp Lewis sent the 10th Artillery and military band as representatives of the Army. The Firing squad gave an exhibition of field gun practice at a mark in woods south of Puyallup. All soldiers at the camp were released by General Robert Alexander except for a few to garrison the post. Hundreds of soldiers thus helped to boost attendance on the very wet day to 37,000, topping Seattle Day's total. (TNT 9-18-26, p. 1) TPL-7087
