Camp Lewis, a U.S. Army cantonment south of Tacoma, Washington, was built in 1917 to train soldiers for service in the First World War, and by 1918 its grounds held large numbers of horses and mules alongside the troops. This photograph captures the horsemanship side of that training, when riders and animals were drilled together for the cavalry, artillery and supply units that still depended on animal power on the Western Front. Horses were essential for hauling guns, carts and supplies, so the skills shown here mattered to the war effort. The record gives few specifics about the riders or the exact moment, but the setting places the picture firmly in the wartime mobilization of the Pacific Northwest.
