Battery D doing calisthenics on what appears to be a baseball field. Battery D was part of the 130th Field Artillery, Kansas National Guard. In 1917 James C. Hughes was Captain of Battery C, 130th Field Artillery, Kansas National Guard. He was stationed at Camp Doniphan, Oklahoma, for field artillery training. Camp Doniphan is adjacent to Fort Sill which is just outside Lawton, Oklahoma. This photograph could have been taken at either location since the 130th Field Artillery, Kansas National Guard, trained at both in 1917 and 1918. A full biography of James Clark Hughes is available on Kansapedia.
