Postcard of U.S. Infantry Troops standing at attention. The caption at the bottom of the postcard reads 16th Infantry, Fort Bliss, [Texas].

That being stated, the 16th Infantry Regiment was present in El Paso, Texas after April of 1914 under the command of General John J. Pershing. The 16th Infantry arrived from San Francisco along with General Pershing. The 16th Infantry Regiment was part of the 8th Infantry Brigade.

Camp Cotton was located east of Cotton Street west of the present day Chamizal National Memorial Park and south of present day Paisano Avenue. Bottom right corner of the postcard is the numbers 3035, the meaning of this number is unknown.

Postcard allegedly of Colonel Girrard [Girard], 15th U.S. Cavalry. Unfortunately we could not find any corroborating historical information that the Army Officer seen here, on horseback front, is in fact a Colonel Girrard with the U.S. Army ca. 1914. Also, the hand written ink caption on the front of the postcard does not match the original writing by Walter H. Horne himself [ca. 1914]. The ink caption in the front was done at a much later date. If you notice that the letter "y" in the word 'Cavalry' - front side of postcard - does not match with the letter "y" in the word 'yours' - back side of postcard - which was written by Walter H. Horne himself in 1914 as he personally addressed this postcard to Mrs. Henry Horne in Hallowell, Maine. We can only confirm that the 15th Cavalry was in fact in El Paso, Texas during April of 1914. The postcard is post marked April 24, 1914, El Paso, Texas.
