- These are images of Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where the draftees from
- Arkansas were sent to artillery school. They include portraits of
- tentmates, landscapes of Fort Sill, and some illustrations of camp
- life.
- See also the newspaper clipping listing draftees:
- /Cardinal/ArkansasDemocrat_clippings/Draftees.jpg
- Most of the negatives could not be located (September, 2015)
- so these pictures were scanned from the prints (April, 2017).
