- Description
- Machine gun training post-WWI beside Armory. Cadets are seen training with the Browning M1917A1 .303 water cooled machine gun mounted on the standard M1917 tripod. This weapon saw only limited use by the US Army during WWI. This photo, probably just after WWI, due to the uniform style with campaign hats and wrapped puttees, show training of cadets in setting up and firing the gun. Of special note in the background next to the Armory is a cadet practicing semaphore flag signaling.
