[Lem H. Spillbury]
Postcard of Lem H. Spillsbury holding flowers. Lem H. Spillsbury was a Mormon Scout for the 10th Cavalry U.S. Army in Carrizal, Chihuahua, Mexico. Spillsbury led and guided Captain Charles Trumbull Boyd and his small command of men, including Black Troops, into Carrizal, Chihuahua. Spillsbury and other members of the unit were subsequently captured and held after the Battle of Carrizal, 21 June 1916. By June 29th, Spillsbury along with 23 Negro Troops from the 10th Cavalry were released unharmed and into the custody of General George Bell Jr., (January 22, 1859 – October 29, 1926 - 16th Infantry Regiment) and were quartered at Fort Bliss, Texas. Spillsbury contends that it was Captain Boyd who was the aggressor in Carrizal while other witnesses and soldiers contend that it was the Mexicans Soldiers who ambushed the U.S. Troops - accounts vary on both sides. Among the dead at the Battle of Carrizal were Captain Charles Trumbull Boyd of the 10th Cavalry and First Lieutenant Henry Rodney Adair both Killed in Action on 21 June 1916. Both Troop C and Troop K of the 10th Cavalry suffered loses in the Battle of Carrizal.

[Preparedness Parade - June 1916]
The 'Preparedness Parade' symbolized a patriotic movement within the El Paso community that showed local support for World Peace by supporting the United States' entry into World War I. Ergo, the El Paso community was ready to assist with the war effort. The preparedness movement was a national patriotic movement and was not exclusive to El Paso. According to the El Paso Herald June 14, 1916, page 2; "8000 March for Preparedness; Thousands Wave Flags and Cheer - All El Paso Pay Tribute to 'Old Glory on Flag Day; Military Bands Make Stirring Music for the Civilian Marchers; Mayor Lea Leads Parade With His Two Small Sons; Many Firms in Line." Leading the parade was Sergeant Claude Tillman and his squad of men representing the El Paso Police Department; next, Grand Marshal John M. Wyatt and his aides, Lieutenant Eastman and Hecox, both USA; and then Mayor Tom Lea with his sons. Other groups present were: 400 employees from the Popular Dry Goods Company; Civil War Veterans; First Division; Women's Club; the Rotary Club; Doctors; Bankers; and many more.
