Marvin Davis Sr. Collection
Los Alamos Mounted Military Police
 Marvin Davis, Sr.
was one of the first men to arrive at Los Alamos in April 1943 as part of
the initial contingent of military police. This first group was the
1st Military Police Detachment - Mounted and originated at Fort Riley,
Kansas. The first contingent of 100 or so men traveled through Camp
Wolters, Texas on their way to Los Alamos. Mr. Davis was also a
member of the first 12-man group that traveled to the Trinity Test Site to
establish a secure test zone. Mr. Davis has graciously
submitted the below referenced photos and documents to help students and
researchers better understand the origination of the military police at
Los Alamos. Note: There are two ways to view the photos in this gallery. You may "click" on any of the small images below to go to a full-page image along with an expanded caption. You may also navigate forward and backward from each of the full-page images. |
