Mounted riders and horse-drawn carts move side by side in this view of the 1st Battery heading out to a war game in New York, a combination that shows how military transport still relied heavily on horses in 1909. Mock battles like this one were a common way for units to practice movement, supply, and coordination without real combat. The glass negative came from the Bain News Service, a New York press photo agency, and its title is recorded as unverified, so the unit's identity and the exact occasion should be read with some caution.
