The book mentions that the troops built a chapel and also attended services at our church. Our church is St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church. I was wondering if you have any photos or data about the troops stationed at Camp Cotton. Any information would be greatly appreciated as we are celebrating our 105th anniversary. Thank you for your assistance.

The Las Vegas routing could only be Las Vegas New Mexico.

This is very likely a typical military panorama photo of the time. Pay close attention to the annotations written on the photo in negative (white lettering) as they will indicate the location and purpose. For instance, it may have been an annual Kansas National Guard encampment, or troops assembling for Border Service. Let me know what you find out.

Best Regards,
Rich

It’s about 4 feet long in frame. Found in attic 43 years ago.
