Description
Scope and content: Holdings consist of 74 snapshots taken circa 1936-1937 in the vicinity of Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. Many images are unidentified, but they are telling photographs of America's level of preparedness prior to its entry into World War II. They show a time when the Army still relied upon horses for mobility of artillery and weapons, and there are numerous photographs of weaponry which could easily be mistaken for World War I-era arms. There are a few images of Pearl Harbor, including the battleships Idaho and Pennsylvania. Photographs also show troops training and on parade; mingling with local females; and other images of life on and off base.
