American Servicemen Resting on Cots in Improvised Barracks Quarters

Young National Guardsmen rest on rows of canvas cots in a hastily converted warehouse or armory drill floor, likely during a 1930s mobilization such as strike duty. Improvised quarters like this were common when Guard units were called up on short notice and permanent barracks space was unavailable. Project: 218639
