1916 Real Photo Set of 5 Postcards - Numbers 14 to 18 - Arranged to Form Panoramic Yard Long Photo of World War I Military Camp Aldershot in Nova Scotia, Canada

Panorama postcards of Aldershot Camp, Nova Scotia

I saw a (#16) postcard on eBay with the following message written on back - Set these side by side and paste or fasten on a paste board and you will have the whole camp - shows all tents and buildings in a line as they stand.

In his history of Camp Aldershot published in 1983, Brent Fox writes that when it was moved from Aylesford Plain to its current site, “there was little in what became the new training ground.” There was the old Kentville racetrack near the gate, a carding mill on the north-east edge, a sawmill and adds Fox, “several farms were evident (on the grounds) at the turn of the century.” Fox writes that between 1903 and 1907, the federal government purchased land for what was to become the new Camp Aldershot, the boundaries eventually becoming what they are today by the latter year. However, Steam Mill resident Harlan Adams tells me he was born in 1922 on his father’s farm on what is now the military camp ground; and it appears that from what he remembers, the current camp originally was much smaller than it is now.

(4 August 1916) - At Aldershot Camp Men Are In Fine Condition and Splendid Spirits. Exhibition of Bayonet Fighting and Physical Training. ALDERSHOT CAMP. Every day is a busy day here, but every day is different, and that is what makes an account of what is going on interesting to the outside world as well as to those who are under canvas. This morning we had a brigade route march. We got up at 3.30 o'clock in order to take the march during the cool hours of the morning. Care of the men is ever in the minds of the superior officers. As usual not a man dropped out. In fact the men and officers set about playing games and attending to duties as readily upon their return as tho they had never been out. It is the way they always do.

This afternoon we were favored on the camp grounds by a rare exhibition and demonstration of bayonet fighting and physical training by the members of the assistant instructor's class in bayonet fighting and physical trains of the 6th District School, situated on the grounds.
The program was as follows:
Demonstration of physical training teaching. Demonstration of bayonet fighting teaching.
Swedish games.
Grand march and mess drill by class.
Boxing exhibition.
Charging the enemy's trenches.
"God Save the King", by the band.
The exhibition was under the direction of Lieutenant Ramsay Traquair, officer in charge of B. F. and P. T.

There was a general attendance of the officers and men of the brigade and a large number of civilians were also present. Between four and six in the afternoon tea was served at the camp mess to officers and their wives, a large number of whom at| tended. Music was furnished by the band of the 193rd Battalion. This evening each battalion is having a battalion route march and the boys are just starting off, singing as they go.

It was addressed to: Miss Mina Nicholls (Wilhelmina Nichols) / 290 Central Ave / Needham, Mass - redirected to the Needham Glover Hospital

The Glover Home and Hospital was named after Frederick Pope Glover, who bequeathed his estate to the town for the purpose of founding a hospital in his name. Glover was not a doctor, as is often supposed. He had been, at various points in his life, a shoemaker, a shopkeeper, a gold prospector during the Gold Rush, a railroad surveyor, a mule-driver, a trail guide, real estate speculator, and again a shopkeeper. He settled in Needham later in his life, and served the town in several capacities, including a term or two as Selectman. Glover’s executor, William Moseley, was also a mill owner, and he dragged his feet in turning over the funds to the Overseers in expectation that the hospital plan would eventually come through. It finally did in 1910, when Town Meeting reluctantly voted to accept the gift after all. The hospital opened on September 16, 1912. The first hospital was an 11-bed facility, with small operating and obstetrical rooms, a nursery, and two wards.

Beechcraft T-6C Texan II T.1

Whilst on holiday in North Wales it would be rude not to visit the Mach Loop. This was my first time visiting the Mach Loop and I was graced with my first fly by within 15 minutes of arriving. Many a time I have heard that you can sit up this hillside all day and not see anything. We had near perfect weather and I think the aircrew must have taken advantage of the conditions for training, as we were only there for a couple of hours and had several fly by's by Texans and F35 Lightnings. This Texan Training aircraft out of RAF Valley on the Anglesey an island off the north west coast of Wales.

University of South Dakota Historic Core District, Armory-Gym by South Dakota National Register of Historic Places

University of South Dakota Historic Core District, Armory-Gym

The University of South Dakota Historic Core District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in February 2025. Photographs from the nomination.

Old Armory/Gymnasium (Belbas Center; Women’s Gymnasium; “The Bastille”)
Date of construction: 1904-1905
Architect: Kinney & Detweiler, Minneapolis; Erick Nylen of Vermillion served as the general contractor.
The Armory/Gymnasium was built primarily for a military training program facility. The first floor was a combined drill hall and basketball court and was open to the second floor, which featured a running track around the parameter overlooking the basketball court/drill hall space below. The third floor included space for gymnastics, wrestling and boxing. Munitions storage was located on the third floor. When the university decided in 1907 that a military unit was no longer needed, the armory became the university’s athletic facility. In 1918, it was used once again as a training facility and barracks for recruits and soldiers during World War I.

After the war, it housed the campus ROTC program until 1929, when the new armory/gymnasium was built. At the time, the building became the women’s gymnasium. Its use expanded as a multi-purpose facility through the 1970s; in the early 1980s it became the Facilities Management shop and storage building. Today, the building houses undergraduate admissions, financial aid, and the office of the registrar. It was previously listed individually in the National Register in 2002.

The Historic Core District includes a total of thirteen buildings plus a historic quad/greenspace, bird bath/fountain, and gateposts. The district includes historic resources that date from the earliest construction on campus through the mid-1950s. The period of significance begins in 1883, when the first section of University Hall (now called Old Main) was constructed, and ends in 1954, when the last buildings located within the district were built.

The earliest buildings are best-categorized as “Late Victorian” and include styles such as Richardsonian Romanesque and Chateauesque. Those constructed between 1900 and 1930 are examples of “Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals” and include Classical elements of styles such as Neoclassical, American Renaissance, and Beaux Arts. The buildings built after 1940 tend to illustrate the “Modern Movement” of architecture. Though architectural styles varied over the decades, the primary materials used for exterior building walls are stone and/or brick. The stone includes examples of various colors of Sioux quartzite and of Bedford limestone from Indiana.

“Position and Posture – The Doctrine Watches”

One sits. One stands.
One is stripped, the other dressed in hierarchy.
This is not punishment.
It is structure.
Discipline is not imposed—it is absorbed under watchful silence.
The spine must break before it can be rebuilt.
The gaze is unnecessary. The presence is enough.
He does not look down—because the doctrine does not lower itself.
It reigns in silence, in posture, in form.
