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)

Leonard Weber, left, of Tacoma and Carl Uppman of Gig Harbor didn't attempt to put on their gas masks during the July 1934 Citizen's Military Training Camp (CMTC) exercises at Camp Murray until after the wind had whipped some of the tear gas being used for training in their direction.
