Rain Cancels Camp Logan Carnival in April downpour
Large rainstorm halted the Prairie division athletic carnival at Camp Logan Houston on April 26. The downpour flooded streets and drill fields, but improved drainage promised dry conditions the next day. The Sixty-sixth infantry brigade planned raids in the Logan sector with new formations, while Ellington field aircraft and field signal units supported artillery observers. A training start for quartermaster noncommissioned officers began at Camp Johnston Jacksonville with several named NCOs listed as attendees. The fourth national army recruit, Robert Dahlgren, died Wednesday morning.
