Ammunitions Wagon
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A
Description: Photograph of a Ammunitions Wagon. There is no accompanying information about the exact location or about the identity of the men in this photograph. A young boy sits at the very end of this ammunitions wagon. The group of men, who looked to be fatigued, are all wearing uniforms consistent with the uniforms that were worn by the Constitutional soldiers. A pair of mules is hauling the ammunitions wagon. Just beyond the wagon and on the other side of the road is an empty farmer’s field.

[Anglo Men]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of two Anglo men in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. The man on the left more than likely participated in the revolution as a volunteer or mercenary for rebel forces. He has two bandoleers crisscrossed across his chest and a cartridge belt around his waist. The belt has the appearance of having been part of a military issued uniform. This man may have had prior military service before joining the revolution. The man on the right on the other hand does not have the appearance of having participated in the war since he carries no weapons or ammunition, however, that assumption cannot be verified.

[Anglo Rebels]
Date: 1911~
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of Anglo/foreign soldiers posing for a photograph amid a group of rebels. Quite a few foreigners joined the Mexican Revolution for a variety of reasons, though monetary rewards and adventure were perhaps the two most popular. The group seems to have posed for this impromptu photo in the middle of a lunch break as several cooking and dining utensils are seen on the ground. Several men hold their rifles up in display. On the left hand side of the photo, a man crouches down next to a Colt Automatic Machine Gun. Two notable individuals on the left hand side of the photo are Captain James Charles Bulger (man with a pipe in his mouth), originally from New York who joined Madero's forces in 1911 and Captain Alfred W. Lewis, head of artillery at Ojinaga, next to him. This photo more than likely was taken at the same time as another photo in the collection, titled, "Anglo Revolutionaries". Several of the individuals photographed in that photo are present in this one. Though many are not identified, the tall man near the center of the photo, sporting a mustache and full beard is said to have been known as American Slim.

[Anglo Revolutionaries]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of a group of Anglo revolutionaries and a few Mexican revolutionaries in the background. These men more than likely had their photo taken while at camp, as there are several buckets and dishes strewn about the ground. The man kneeling down on the right hand side of the photo appears to be cooking. The Mexican Revolution prompted foreign volunteers to participate in the revolution for a variety of reasons. Many volunteers were called to action in the name of adventure, while others reported to duty as mercenaries. Their experiences in the Spanish-American War, Indian Wars, etc. aided the revolutionists' mostly amateurish army in the early years. Foreign volunteers came from all parts of the world, though Americans were the dominant majority. The tall man with a beard, standing directly behind the man hunched over is said to have been known as American Slim. Unfortunately, no other information has been found regarding American Slim.

[Army Artillery Piece]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of four U.S. soldiers posing for a photograph next to some kind of field artillery piece in an army camp. There are several tents visible in the background. There is writing on the side of the artillery piece; however, the wheel is blocking what artillery unit the piece belongs to. The following is legible: Field Artillery, no.1. The soldiers smile into the camera as they proudly display their weaponry. The exact location of where the photo was taken is unknown but these soldiers were more than likely stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border.

[Army Cannon]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of a group of U.S. Army soldiers attempting to move a large cannon. One can visually see how large the cannons were; as the wheels used to transport them were nearly the height of the soldiers. There are two other cannons in the background; these men must have belonged to an artillery unit. The exact location of where this photo was taken is unknown; there are no distinctive features in the background except for the desert landscape. The soldiers may have been camped out in the desert performing routine drills and maneuvers or preparing defenses along the U.S./Mexico border.

Army Chow Time
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of Soldiers waiting in the "chow line" just outside of the mess tent. Taking a break to get something good to eat, these smiling Soldiers wait patiently in line for a good hot meal back in the base camp. Like today, a hot meal in the field can greatly improve upon the morale of any field Soldier.
