The wire laying & signal communication group at the annual encampment of the National Guard at Camp Murray. The Guard members in the foreground of the picture are, left to right, Ribert (Robert?) Howard, Keith Cole, Corporal Palmer, John Winterhouse and Sgt. R. Herzog. They are working on a device that reels out cable in front of the 148th Field Artillery Battery E supply tent. The 1936 encampment was held the last two weeks of June and offered Guard members a chance to re-train and take part in military exercises. Each year the encampment was given an honorary name, in 1936 it was Camp Wesley Lloyd. (T. Times 6/17/1936, pg. 1)
