[Mechanized Cavalry]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: The military tractor in this post card is towing at least three supply wagons. In this post card two of the supply wagons are loaded with pontoon boats. Pontoon boats were used to help troops and supplies cross a body of water; usually a river and this case the Rio Grande. Pontoon boats would be tied together side by side in a river channel. A temporary bridge, usually made from simple wooden planks, would then be placed on top of the pontoon boats thus allowing troops and supplies to safely cross the river. This post card was not mailed and has no post mark stamp.

[Cavalry Drilling Exercise – Duplicate]
Date: (1883-1921)
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: The postcard caption reads: Drilling Cavalry on the Mexican Border. According to the postcard author this is Troop D, 8th Cavalry; please see WH PC 180-027a. There is no accompanying information on the true location of where this event was captured. However, because of the large mature trees in the background, this location was most likely in the area of Camp Stewart near Cordova Island. Fort Bliss on Lanoria Mesa did not have very many mature trees in clusters such as the tree seen in this postcard. The second cavalryman from the right has his service revolver pointed in the air. This postcard is an exact duplicate of [Cavalry Drilling Exercise – Duplicate] – WH PC 180-027a and [Cavalry Drilling Exercise] – WH PC 180-045.
