Salvage Sailor Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share #102 Posted January 19, 2023 Throughout this topic I've mentioned several times that the Infantry & Cavalry were living in tents, or 'under canvas', while their temporary cantonment and eventual permanent barracks were being constructed. 'Under Canvas' The tenting area was laid out by Companies (or Troops), with wooden rails resembling a horse corral lining the 'streets'. The upper canvas rain covers would be lashed to the fence rails and the tents erected upon a plank floor, two troopers per tent (and one cat in this instance) with a QMC iron bed, mattress, wooden foot locker. blankets, etc. These fellas also set up a table with tablecloth & some books to read.

oldshafter Posted November 16, 2023 Share #109 Posted November 16, 2023 Has anyone familiar with Hawaii around 1913-1916 ever seen an eagle statue like this? The photo is from a collection my great grandfather amassed at Fort Shafter during that period. Another of the eagle. Soldiers from 2nd Infantry, Co. C.

oldshafter Posted December 6, 2023 Share #112 Posted December 6, 2023 Great photo of the men with beers. In that moment, life could be worse. Continuing the recreation theme, here's one of a baseball team. Probably 2nd Infantry based on the original owner's affiliation. He pitched for C company, this is B.

oldshafter Posted December 6, 2023 Share #113 Posted December 6, 2023 This is 2nd Infantry, Company C. My Great-Grandfather, Charles W. Ammerman first-row, left, holding the ball. I even found a couple write-ups in old Honolulu newspapers mentioning this team. According to those he was a pretty good pitcher! Circa 1914-1916. Probably the same vegetation-covered building in the background as the previous photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted January 20 Author Share #114 Posted January 20 Fabulous Pineapple Army baseball photos, I have many 2nd Infantry photos from this time period. I'll have to scan through them and see if I have anything related to your GGF's service period at Fort Shafter, T.H. PS - the buildings with the vines on them still exist on Palm Circle, Fort Shafter.

This is the 1905 team from the Hawaiian National Guard. The "photogravure" was taken on August 29th, 1905 and mailed to an address in San Francisco by one of the team, "The Hawaiian Team, We start back for S.F. about the 1st of Sept."
