Civilians Military Training Camp, C.M.T.C., at Camp Murray. Group of young men arriving at camp with satchels containing their belongings. During the 20s and 30s, young men interested in military careers could receive training in summer camps. This filled the gap between a large standing army, of the size needed during a war, and completely untrained volunteers. (T. Times 7/9/1936, pg. 14)
