gwb123 Posted October 1, 2008 Share #78 Posted October 1, 2008 Excellent set of photos. Really gives a good portrait of the soldiers stationed at Schofield during the time. Considering the rough economic times that folks were going through on the Mainland, who wouldn't want to be in the Army and stationed in Hawaii? I really get a kick out of those high top boots.... they had to be miserable in the heat. It's nice to see this many photos together as a set. I haven't been to Schofield since 1989, but the place is timeless. I bet the old quad areas still look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Willaert Posted June 24, 2012 Share #79 Posted June 24, 2012 This is my best guess on CKC and I'll stick with it until someone tells us what it really means. CKC = Cotton Khaki Cloth Tropical worstered wool would have been available for dressy uniforms. Yes, it seems CKC indeed was Hawaian Army slang for Cotton Khaki Clothing... The first paragraph in this April 1944 letter confirms this: http://libweb.hawaii.edu/libdept/archives/...944/h440411.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share #82 Posted December 1, 2018 At the time when these photographs were taken the Hawaiian Division was still 'square' with four regiments of infantry divided between two brigades of two regiments each. It was also the only 'full' division in the entire interwar US Army. This is the hard to find 21st Infantry Brigade DI (N.S. Meyer Screwback) which consisted of the 21st Infantry 'Gimlets' and the 19th Infantry 'Rock of Chickamauga' Regiments. The Hawaiian Division & the 21st Infantry Brigade was disbanded on October 1st, 1941 when both of these regiments were reorganized under the new triangular 24th Infantry Division. Initially it also had 299th Infantry Regiment from the Hawaii National Guard but they were replaced by the 34th Infantry Regiment. The 299th was broken up to form the cadre of the 100th Niisei Battalion and the independent 442 RCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
