The National Guard Encampment at Fort Riley (1911)
The Champion Co. presents a most powerful object lesson in the delineation of military camp life at Pawnee Flats, on the Government reservation, Fort Riley, Kansas. At this encampment, the United States Government furnishes large bodies of regular troops to intermingle with the militia, thus affording them practical lessons in the duties of regular soldiery. No wonder then that we see in our various State Militia organizations a body of men of whom the country may feel justly proud. The Fort Riley maneuvers are therefore worthy of the highest consideration of every American. Some of the evolutions of the soldiers are executed with a brilliance that is startling to behold, while the general drilling and marching of the men must excite the admiration of every feminine breast. Every form of military work is gone through, from the opening to the breaking of camp. The erecting of the tents alone is well worth our intelligent reflection and thought. Company B of the 1st Regiment of Kansas, holds the record in conical tent erection, putting op their tent in the record-breaking time of two minutes and thirty-eight seconds.
