In honor of Friday being National Guard Day, here are two classic photos from our State Digital Archives featuring the Washington National Guard. The photo above is from 1911 and shows officers of the National Guard of Washington at Camp Fortson. The bottom shot, taken in 1906, features five Guard members with Company D, 2nd Infantry. The photos are from the State Digital Archives’ Military Department Photograph Collection, 1890-1975. The collection includes 500 photos of military personnel, equipment, facilities and military activities within the state during this period.
