ca. 1934. View of Citizens Military Training Camp (C.M.T.C.) constructed in a vast open field and containing a number of buildings and tents. Uniformed men are lined-up across the parade ground. After World War I, the country could not afford to maintain a large standing army. Nor could it afford the time needed to train hastily summoned volunteers in an emergency. The compromise was the Citizens Training Camps. In these annual camps held in the summer, young men interested in military careers could train as well as reservists needing a refresher course. (T. Times). (WSHS)
