Gas! Gas! Gas! Camp Perry, edition
Some 95 years ago this summer. Could you imagine if this were at the modern National Matches?
Original Caption: “National Rifle Matches, Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 25 – Sept. 14, 1930. Typical combat firing – with gas masks.” Note the M1903 Springfields with ladder sights and what look to be KTM (Kops Tissot Monro) Model 1919 (M1) gas masks, the interwar standard.
