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. Privates J. M. Ellis, left, and Robert Ross, Service Company One Hundred and Eleventh Medical Corps, pictured at their culinary duties. A scene that any former service man could readily identify as Kitchen Patrol (K. P.) duty.
