Fort Shafter Twentieth Infantry Arrives in Honolulu 1908
The Twentieth Infantry passed through Honolulu en route to the Philippines in July 1908. Major W. Dunulig, later Lt Col, took command at Fort Shafter as barracks and grounds were developed from a wasteland into a landscaped post praised by War Secretary Dickinson. The battalion, under Major Burnham, expanded facilities with two new buildings, and soldiers toured Oahu and Hawaii, enjoying baseball and other sports while forging local ties. The unit plans to unite in January 1912, though some troops remain for duty at Fort Douglas.
