National Guard Officers and Soldiers at Fort Benjamin Harrison Circa 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 September 1910 the National Guard and the regular army participated in biennial joint maneuvers there. Under the command of General Charles L. Hodges fifteen thousand militia troops from Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia participated in the training that month. This group may be from that training session at the fort.
