Document Overview
Published in 1941 by the Army and Navy Publishing Company of Baton Rouge, this Historical and Pictorial Review captures the 134th Medical Regiment, a New York National Guard unit, during its first year of federal service at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, before Pearl Harbor. The first half covers Fort Bragg itself: the post commander and staff, the history of the reservation from its Highland Scots settlers through its founding as an artillery firing center in 1918, the Field Artillery Board, and photo spreads of post life, sports and training. The second half is devoted to the regiment, formed from the 102nd Medical Regiment of the 27th Division and drawn from Albany, Syracuse, Ticonderoga and Corning, with its lineage back to Mexican Border and World War I service, photos of litter drill, clearing stations and gas mask training, and group photos of every company with the men named row by row. This is a digital download of a scanned copy of the original book.
