Deutsch; some old wear and crinkling to image, from being rolled and kept that way for many years; very good condition and interesting United States military history ephemera; the Citizens Military Training Camps were in existence from 1921-40 and were established in order to continue a peacetime military training effort for American males, without the obligation or commitment of the ROTC; the CMTC was a later development of a movement begun by Theodore Roosevelt and Gen. Leonard Wood in 1915, which sought greater trained American military strength before the first World War and one of the training camps was in Plattsburgh (and sometimes called the "Plattsburgh Movement"); after World War I, these one-month summer training camps were continued under the CMTC, with similar goals of preparedness and the training of a future officer corps for military service.
