Here are a few of NJ troops at the Carolina Maneuvers. I have many more!
Hello,

Those are great outstanding early pictures !!
Note the rare early blue denim fatigues in one of the pictures, interesting Maltese crosses on the big trucks and trailers !
Don't think that lasted long !

More pictures would be great to see, and also we can see a nice mix of early vehicles with the newer jeeps in your pictures !


Best Regards,
Ray

Ray,
The 102nd Cavalry used Diamonds, Hearts, And Crosses to designate the different troops in the Regiment. In the pictures you can see why they had canvas buckets!
