Throwback Thursday: Nebraska Veterans
NLC is proud to honor Nebraska’s many Veterans with this week’s #ThrowbackThursday!
This week, we have a 7″ x 5″ black and white formal photograph featuring the first commanding officer of the Sioux Army Depot, Colonel Prebble, with his staff. The Sioux Army Depot was established on 19,771 acres west of Sidney, Nebraska in March of 1942. The depot warehoused and distributed ammunition and general supplies. It was deactivated in June of 1967.
This week’s image is published and owned by Cheyenne County Historical Society and Museum. Items in this collection represent the people and places of Sidney, Fort Sidney, Potter, Dalton and other communities and sites in the county. Images feature business districts in these towns, troops stationed at the fort, and William Jennings Bryan speaking at the Cheyenne County Court House.

Throwback Thursday: Student Army Training Corps
We honor Nebraska Veterans with this week’s #ThrowbackThursday!
This black and white photograph shows eight members of the Student Army Training Corps. The SATC was approved by the War Department in 1917 to train young men for military service.
This photo is owned by Wayne State College. In a continuing effort to preserve and make accessible photographs depicting the history of Wayne State College and the region it serves, the Wayne State College Library is digitizing selected photographs from its archives. Photographs from the early 1900s included in Nebraska Memories show the buildings and grounds of the campus, athletic teams, the Student Army Training Corps, and other groups while slightly later images show famous visitors to campus.
