I do not know the answer but I'm betting someone in San Antonio will be able to give us the facts ... I seem to remember this same question some time ago on some list or other, and have to confess that I do not know if it was ever answered. If it was, I did not retain it. Do you know which tra8ining facility? And there may be others for all I know. CAMP BULLIS. established in 1917 to train troops in preparation for the growing threat of war in Europe. http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/CC/qbc6.html FORT SAM HOUSTON. In 1937 the largest maneuvers since World War I were held, http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/FF/qbf43.html FORT SAM HOUSTON MUSEUM http://www.nostalgiaville.com/travel/Texas/sanantonio/sanantonio.htm Presume you have checked directly with the facility? And always remember that usually "all" records are not lost. Of course, after a fire a lot are thrown out simply because at the time no one tried to save them ... easier to dispose. Another question I'd be asking, after finding out if that statement is true, is if duplicate records of any kind could be on the Federal or State level - Good starting place for any Texas historical info is The Handbook of Texas Online: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/ Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <txbexar-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 10:22 AM Subject: [TXBEXAR] 1937 Army Training Camp > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: mbrowder53190 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.texas.counties.bexar/2704/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I am searching for information about the Army Training Camp in San Antonio > during 1937.
