In 1936, construction of the Kaserne is fully underway. To honor the workers, visiting military dignitaries speak to the tradesmen from a temporary platform in front of the building which would, 36 years later, be the 2/11 dining facility.


 

The view from the platform as the workers assemble. Note various stages of completion of other buildings.
 

After the ceremony, the workers are honored with a formal dinner and .... more speeches.
