[Army Wagon Train]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: The post card caption reads: Army Wagon Train Crossing the Mexican Desert. There are three United States Army supply wagons visible in this post card. The supply wagons are being pulled by teams of mules and are being guarded by U.S. Soldiers. The mule was the preferred pack animal for the Army because of its ability to endure the harsh desert conditions. Because this post card was never mailed, there is no post mark stamp on the back side of this post card.

[Artillery on the March]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: Postcard of U.S. Army Troops. At first glance these troops appear to be riding along a dusty road however upon closer inspection the men are actually riding through a very shallow river. So what appears to be clouds of dusts coming from beneath the feet of the horses is actually the splashing of the water. The Army Unit and location are unknown.

[Artillery Unit Crossing a River]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: Postcard of an unknown Army Artillery Unit crossing an unidentified river. Although there is a written message on the back of this postcard the absence of a post mark stamp indicates that this postcard was never mailed. And although this is a W.
