World War II Era Military Journalism
COOKE CLARION. 30 Issues Sept. 26 1945 - April 5th 1946
Camp Cooke CA 1946. 1st printing of the divers issues. Printed self-wrappers. Modest wear with the occasional chip/short split along a fold. Age-toning to paper. Folded into quarters. Overall Very Good. 30 issues 2 duplicates ~ 4 pages each 8 columns per page. Illustrated with half-tone b/w photographic images. Comics ~ 3 strips p. 4. 22" x 17-1/2" <br/><br/>In 1941 the United States Army sought more and better training centers for the rapid development of its armored and infantry forces. In March 1941 the Army acquired approximately 86000 acres of open ranch lands along the Central Coast of California between Lompoc and Santa Maria. Most of the land was purchased. Smaller parcels were obtained either by lease license or as easements. With its flat plateau surrounding hills numerous canyons and relative remoteness from populated areas the Army was convinced it had found the ideal training location. Construction of the Army camp began in September 1941. Although its completion was still months away the Army activated the camp on 5 October and named it Camp Cooke in honor of Major General Phillip St. George Cooke a decorated cavalry officer whose career spanned 50 years 1827 - 1873. Although the construction of Camp Cooke continued well into 1942 troop training did not wait. The 5th Armored Division rolled into camp in February and March and the steady roar of its tanks and artillery soon became part of the daily scene. From then until the end of the war other armored and infantry divisions kept up the din before they too left for overseas duty. Besides the 5th Division the 6th 11th 13th and 20th Armored Divisions as well as the 86th and 97th Infantry Divisions and the 2d Filipino Infantry Regiment were all stationed at Cooke at varying times during the war. Also trained at Cooke were an assortment of anti-aircraft artillery combat engineer ordnance and hospital units. Over 400 separate and distinct outfits passed through Camp Cooke. A maximum security army disciplinary barracks was constructed on post property in 1946. Confined to the facility were military prisoners from throughout the Army.
