October 15, 2017. Members of the Army Ground Forces Association presented demonstrations of activities at Fort Hancock during World War II.
The presenters were very knowledgeable of the times and activities at the Fort. There were Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts at the presentations and they had some great questions too.
Some of the Cub Scouts were given an opportunity to run some of the machines in the maintenance shop.
An example of a modern hospital during the 40's at war.
The big 6 inch guns protected the entrance to New York Harbor. While always ready, the gun batteries never had to fire at a vessel during the war.
