Date: 1900, 1949-11-06
Description: Two original captions: "Jefferson Barracks was proud of its 1895 parade grounds across from the new officers' quarters, which had replaced the 1827 limestone "apartments" on three sides of the old quadrangle. It was here that Col. Walter Krueger marched his Sixth Infantry in review in honor of the Japanese military attache just before handing over command to Col. Walter Short. This was a scant half-dozen years before their names were to be blazoned across the Pacific in World War II." "Jefferson Barracks, showing the new parade ground. The view is from the south and shows the new officers' quarters - in 1895 - which replaced the old limestone quarters around the 1826 quadrangle. Besides being located well to the north of the old quadrangle, the officers' quarters were set in a curving line which gave the new parade ground the form of an elipse. But history had not departed, here Col. Walter C. Krueger marched the 6th Infantry in review in honor of the Japanese military attache just before handing over command to Col. Walter C. Short, all a scant half-dozen years before their names were to be blazoned around the Pacific ocean." Image taken in 1900.
