joyce secciani wasp image Anti Aircraft

from SDASM Archives

• Ken Glaze said:

  Given this is labeled as "Tracking with the 90", I have reason to believe that this is actually a photo of the 89th Coast Artillery Regiment, Antiaircraft, Military District of Washington, Eastern Defense Command. This unit trained with both the 40mm Bofors and the 90mm AA gun. This was an experiment in using women as defensive gunners. Reference: THE MILITARY HISTORY OF WASHINGTON IN THE WAR YEARS, 1942 – 1945, by William H. Cartwright, Jr.

  What a fun fact about women serving during WW2. The picture above though is definitely Camp Davis, as noted in the description WASP were sent there to tow targets for the men who were training - Camp Davis was an important antiaircraft training center during World War II.
  
  Here are some additional photos from the same event that show a little more detail and can be traced to WASP history.

  Beautiful

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Based on the almost legible sign in this picture, the fancy one on the left was Indian, and I think presented either to or by Field Marshal Lord Gough.
  
  Also, I can only see 3 pieces of artillery...

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Apparently, there were 4 guns presented to Lord Gough by the East Indian Company, and his son lent/gave 2 of them (howitzers) to the Museum. They're now at McKee Barracks, outside the officers' mess.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Leaving aside the cannons, his was taken in the Rotunda of what's now the NMI - Archaeology, on Kildare Stret. The zodiac mosaic is still there, even if the statues and artillery have been replaced by the Museum Shop.
  
  It's from after around 1890 or later as the museum opened it's doors on 29th August of that year.
