This week’s Past Tense column in the Dunwoody Crier newspaper features the story of Captain Peter Thaddeus Carey who commanded the Norcross Rifle Range during World War I. There will be a second part to the story in a future edition.
These are some of the Norcross Rifle Range photos from Chris Carey and James Knettel. More photos will be available next week.
