Salvage Sailor Posted May 16, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2022 Army Mules - In the pre-mechanized days of the US Army, the mule was the primary method of hauling men, weapons, ammunition, goods, materials, water, chow, medical supplies and the thousands of items necessary to keep the troops deployed & supplied in the field. Most every unit had a transport section or pack train attached to haul their loads.

mikie Posted May 17, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2022 Cool thread. Neat topic! I thought I had a postcard with a 1916 ish Signal Corps wagon and mules. But I just dug it out and it has wagons but no mules. Mis remembering something? Me? And I'm not just horsing around about it.I Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
