Zd188. Flickr 045. SC-118540. Olongapo, P.I. Sept. 1940. Activities of the 24th Field Artillery (P.S.) during target practice. This picture is from my CDSG Friend Karl Wilhelm Schmidt.
Note from Karl: The picture did not have a number but I’m sure the description on another picture jives with the geography. This is what I’m sure of:

The picture is not shot from Ft. Wint which was manned by the Philippine Scouts at that time. It is shot from the area that is Barrio Barretto now (Olongapo City), where I live now, and what used to be the Marine Corps Rifle Range, called Maquinna, the river still has that name. The range was also used for light artillery. The peaks in the distance are from the mountain Cinco Pecos on Redondo Peninsular, separating Subic Bay from the South China Sea. Fort Wint, Grande Island is left and off the picture. I’m 100% sure. This area was turned back to Philippine Authorities, about 1949.

In front, at the beach is what looks like target sleds which perhaps are towed by boats. Targets for the Battleships, Cruisers etc. were bigger and were towed by ships like I served on, ARS, ATA etc.
