Aloha Everyone,

 

There are several examples of Indian & Harley Davidson motorcycles assigned to the Hawaiian Department scattered about the forum. Time to gather them together in one topic.

 

Here is a new one from my collection: 8th Field Artillery No. 21 - Artillery Sergeant with .45 sidearm, Schofield Barracks motor pool (slightly out of focus unfortunately).  Also note the artillery tractor track in the foreground
