1941 PARADE CAPE HENLOPEN COAST ARTILLERY ENCAMPMENT



COAST ARTILLERY UNITS PARADE IN LEWES
MAY 22, 1941


Coast Artillery units now stationed at Cape Henlopen for May maneuvers, some 1200

men, will parade their regiment down Savannah Road from the canal to the high school

athletic field with the high school 60 piece band furnishing the music. At the field, the

soldiers will execute close order drill for the spectators.

This will be the first public show by military forces at Cape Henlopen since their arrival

on May 7th for a one month tent encampment at the government military reservation, Fort

Miles, now under construction for defense of Delaware Bay.
