Description
Texas National Guard maneuvers in Louisiana. A tent city was built overnight, appetizing odors arose from cooking quarters and citizen soldiers rolled up their sleeves and went to work on piles of potatoes as 9,500 Texas National Guardsmen reached the site of their three weeks training maneuvers in the Kisatchie National Forest, near Cravens, Louisiana, last weekend. Lieutenant Colonel H. M. Carroll, left, of San Benito, Texas, and Brigadier General Watt Page, Adjutant General of the Guard and commander of the Seventy-first Infantry Brigade went over a housing problem together.
