Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of U.S. soldiers taking a water break out in the field. Several soldiers in the foreground are walking/standing by with their canteens in their hands.

Several soldiers are seen crouching down by the tankers; it appears that they are filling up their canteens. The exact location of where this photo was taken is unknown. These soldiers may have been part of the forces stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border doing the Mexican Revolution and Punitive Expedition.

A Call to Arms
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of a large gathering of Mexican men. This photo is identified as having been photographed somewhere in Ciudad Juarez. In March of 1912 Pascual Orozco Jr. called upon the men of Ciudad Juarez to take up arms against Francisco I. Madero because of Madero’s failed promises after having overthrown then President, Porfirio Diaz. Orozco’s motto against Madero was called: “Reforma, Libertad y Justicia.” In this photograph there are several men who have white bandanas around their hats and those bandanas have different words printed on them. Unfortunately only part of the wording is visible. One of the bandanas has the word "Justicia" printed on one side of the hat and another bandana has the word "Tierra." Translated, Justicia means justice and Tierra means land or earth.
