When Btry C, 125th Field Artillery Battalion goes to summer camp, it means unlimbering the 105 howitzers and firing live ammunition on the Camp Ripley ranges.

Experienced soldiers know that a rifle is always dangerous, they know that one should never consider a rifle unloaded.

Opsdahl is one of almost 3,000 Minnesota National Guardsmen who are at Camp Ripley, near Little Falls, for 15 days of summer field training - the first such session for the 47th division since 1950 - the encampment will end June 28. 1953 June PFC Joseph Salzl, Cpl Charles Moldaschel?
