Description: Mexican Revolution Border War Real Photo Postcard 11th Cavalry Review at Ft Sam Houston On 9 March 1916, the Mexican revolutionary "Pancho" Villa raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico. After killing fifteen Americans and several visiting Mexicans, he left the town in ruins. President Woodrow Wilson ordered BG. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing to lead a Punitive Expedition into Mexico to destroy Villa's rebel army. On 12 March 1916, the 11th Cavalry joined the expedition into Mexico to capture Villa and neutralize his army. While in Mexico, on 5 May 1916, the Second Squadron (Provisional), commanded by Major Robert L. Howze, led the last mounted cavalry charge in U.S. military history. After the action, Howze’s men reported forty-two enemy dead while suffering no friendly casualties or loss of mounts. The 5th of May was later established as the Regiment’s official organization day, in honor of Howze’s charge. photographer: unknown condition: unposted, very good condition postcard sold with rigid clear archival photo protective sleeve will combine shipping selling collection, will be adding numerous postcards
