"From July 17th to 24th, the Regiment participated in maneuvers at Fishkill with 22,000 troops...Sunday, by tradition, was spent in extended order drill, followed by a parade for Adjutant General Stotesbury..." A HANDBOOK OF COMPANY K, Vail-Ballou Press, Binghamton, N.Y., 1940

CAMP VAN CORTLANDT

As units that would eventually make up the 107th Regiment were assembling in NYC in late summer of 1917 it was soon apparent that the armory lacked the capacity to accomodate the growing number of troops. A military camp was established, virtually overnight, in Van Cortlandt Park. Even after elements of the unit shipped out for Camp Wadsworth, Camp Van Cortlandt continued to be used as an assembly point for later arriving units.
