Description
English:

During the period before statehood, the U. S. Federal Government authorized Washington Territory to form independent militia units to assist the civil authorities in maintaining law and order. A more permanent force was created on March 9, 1886, with the formation of the First Infantry Regiment of the Washington National Guard, led by Lieutenant-Colonel George D. Hill. The Second Infantry Regiment followed in 1887. The two regiments were later combined and in 1917 renumbered as the 161st Infantry Regiment, which continues to serve in U. S. military operations as of 2019. This image shows members of the National Guard of Washington's First Battalion standing at attention with their bedrolls slung over their shoulders.
