The Norfolk district, from which he came, had, during his tenure of the district, been an exceedingly active one as far as fortification construction was concerned, and had been the principal site of the joint Army and Navy maneuvers in 1905. Furthermore, during the years 1903 to 1906 a large amount of experimental Coast Artillery work had been in progress at Fort Monroe.
