The War Games of August 1912 were probably the largest ever held on the East Coast.
War Games were scenarios that simulated a hostile invasion so that the army could practice and prepare to defend the country.
The Blue Army marched into Shelton on Aug.10 to defend the bridges across the Housatonic River.
This picture from our archives at Shelton History Center depicts the event.
