3RD ARMY MANEUVERS CAMP BULLIS, TEXAS
PENNANT – 1938: An interesting collectable from
the years immediately prior to World War Two as the US
Army began to prepare for its entry into the conflict.
From the days of war games where trucks were used to
simulate tanks, this souvenir pennant commemorates the
famous Third Army in maneuvers at Camp Bullis, Texas in
August of 1938. Camp Bullis, located immediately north
of San Antonio, Texas, has been a military training
center of some import since the days preceding World War
One and continues to be one the primary training
facilities for the US Armed Services. The pennant, made
of red wool felt trimmed in yellow, bearing the seal of
the US Army and the commemorative legend, measures 29”
long and 11” wide at the widest point. In very good
condition with only one minor hole (approx. 1/8”)
towards the tip, this is a great display piece to place
with your early WWII collectables. $45
