DutchInfid3l Posted April 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2012 Not a complete representation of all that they have. Two buildings. But these (to me) were some of the more interesting displays.

Bluehawk Posted April 7, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 7, 2012 That looks to be a place I could spend a lot of time in, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted April 7, 2012 Share #7 Posted April 7, 2012 Excellent display! Looks like it is well worth the trip. That denim outfit just looks bizarre. Black and white photos just do not do justice to how different it was from later OD uniforms. I also like that "range officer" uniform... I certainly never dressed up like that to run a range! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latewatch Posted April 9, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks for posting these pictures. I've never been to Camp Roberts but would love to go someday. Here is a picture of some of my Dad's paperwork showing his training at Camp Roberts during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchInfid3l Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted April 10, 2012 thanks a bunch for posting this!! My pleasure! They have two buildings, one the regular museum and another down the road they called the "annex". Has a few static displays, tanks, APCs, etc. sitting out front. They have quite an array of items, LOTS of photos, research books, all the different famous people that have trained there. A lot to take in. Need to make another trip up there myself. Plus, it's just really interesting just to drive around the camp. Always eerie seeing the abandoned barracks from the 101. They have them off limits and barricaded and supposedly will have them all torn down by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn_Janssens Posted April 10, 2012 Share #11 Posted April 10, 2012 Very interesting pics. I'm doing a research on Ltc Peters C Ernest...he was the Camp Commander around late '43. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
