U.S. Troop in Mexico. Punitive Expedition Troops somewhere in Mexico. Walter H.

The postcard caption reads: 'A Temporary Camp in Mexico'. We have no information for the location of this 'temporary camp' in Mexico.

Visible in this photographic event are uniformed soldiers; several adobe buildings; tents; army rifles; and general army equipment scattered about. Most of the men appear to be relaxing. One soldier who is resting on his side, middle right image, appears to be writing on something flat and rectangular that also has a handle.

The caption on this postcard reads: 'Disinterring Bodies of U.S. Soldiers in Mexico as the Troops Withdraw.' We can conclude, because of the written words on this postcard, that this event was captured somewhere in Mexico and that it is most likely somewhere near the U.S./Mexico Border- according to the creator of this image. The author of the caption wrote that this fallen soldier was being disinterred; presumably from where he fell during the battle. It was common to bury soldiers where they fell in battle because some military figures like General Pershing believed that burying a serviceman at the battlefield with their comrades offered the greatest glory for the fallen soldier. Bodies were also buried in temporary graves to prevent the spread of disease and also because the unit needed to remain mobile. The bodies, sometimes, were then retrieved at a later time so that the serviceman's remains could be sent home for a 'proper burial'. Several soldiers can be seen disinterring the body. A wood casket rests near the grave. Please also see postcard [Disinterring the Body of U.S. Soldier] WH-PC-196-017 for more information on this event.

The front of the postcard reads: 'Disinterring the Body of a U.S. Soldier in Mexico - the Victim of a Sniper.'

We have no information for the number 145. Please also see postcard [Disinterring Bodies of U.S. Soldiers] WH-PC-196-015. Some of the Army soldiers in the photographic event are also some of the soldiers than can be seen in postcard WH-PC-196-015. According to database FamilySearch, Davis Marksbury was 'killed in action in engagement with Cervantes's bandits in Mexico, May 25, 1916.' More information on Davis Marksbury can be found at: https://wdoabook.blogspot.com/2011/05/today-in-manhunting-history-may-25-1916.html
