Six Army Officers at Fort Benjamin Harrison, 1910

Description:	Fort Benjamin Harrison was established as a training center for the Indiana National Guard in June of 1904 in Lawrence Township, Marion County. In 1910 an officers training school was held at the fort for National Guardsmen from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois. Six instructors were sent from Fort Leavenworth to aid Fort Harrison instructors during this training school. It is thought that these are the six. An Indianapolis Star article for June 14th 1910 identified five of the men, they are: Captains P. O. Murphy, 6th Infantry; Leroy Elpinge, 15th Cavalry; Walter Baltzell, 19th Infantry; Benny Ross, 17th Infantry, and W. Howell, 5th Infantry. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
