[African-Americana] [Vermont] 10th US Cavalry U SBiblio.com

Photograph of the 10th U.S. Cavalry Band Most Likely Taken at Fort Ethan Allen c. 1910

1910List304Fort Ethan Allen 1910. Gelatin silver print mounted to board 16 Â¼ x 14 Â½ inches. Fair to Good. The 10th Cavalry was one of the original â€œBuffalo Soldierâ€ regiments of the post-Civil War segregated U.S. Army first seeing action in the Indian Wars. Their band is shown here most likely during their stint at Fort Ethan Allen in Vermont. They are wearing a mix of insignia from 1902 to 1908 and some are shown in civilian clothing which suggests the picture was taken in Vermont as this was during the time the Army used a vast mix of insignia and the brick architecture of the background also matches that of the fort. They were exposed to some racism during their time in Vermont - the soldiers were punished for associating with neighboring white women with some of the offenders being confined to the guardhouse for punishment which fits with the strictly segregated Army policies of the time. The soldiers did also record positive aspects of their time at the fort including studying at the fortâ€™s library and playing nightly games of the newly-invented sport of basketball. These amenities provided some positive contrast to the previous assignments of the regiment who had been mostly stationed on the frigid plains where the army believed racial tensions would be kept to a minimum. The picture shows the band with the normal marching band instruments of clarinets tubas and sousaphones as well as an alto clarinet oboe and what appears to be a baritone saxophone. We find no other examples of the 10th Cavalry Band and the picture shows the regiment at a relatively calm time as they would soon be sent to the Mexican-American border in 1913 to deal with rising tensions. The picture has condition issues with damage to the mount some damage to the bottom left corner and a crease along the bottom third of the image along with closed tears and chipping to the title label. It remains in fair to good condition attractive and worthy of preservation. unknown

This is followed by the Roster First Cavalry Division which gives unit name street address and home town and state. The 1st Cavalry Division initially organized in September 1921 at Fort Bliss Texas was serving on occupation duty in Japan when the Korean War began in the summer of 1950. On 18 July 1950 elements of the division went ashore at P'ohang-dong South Korea moving quickly westward to block the enemy along the main Taejon-Taegu corridor which led back to the ports on the Sea of Japan. With unrelenting pressure from the enemy the division withdrew to Kumch'on and later east of the Naktong River where it held part of the front near Taegu on the Pusan perimeter. During the month of August "The First Team" successfully countered five major North Korean attacks in that section. In early September the division launched an attack against the "Walled City" a series of high mountain ridges along the perimeter which the enemy repelled. On 15 September however the United Nations began a new offensive with an amphibious landing at Inch'on near Seoul; with the opening of the second front the 1st Cavalry Division began a drive northwest of Taegu. Six days later the division broke out of the perimeter and North Korean pressure in the south ended. Pursuit of the enemy followed and on 27 September the division met the 7th Infantry Division at Osan. From there the 1st Cavalry Division shifted north to the Kaesong area near the 38th Parallel the dividing line between North and South Korea. On 9 October the 1st Cavalry Division was ordered to take Kumch'on in North Korea which fell on 14 October. Shortly thereafter the division reached P'yongyang the North Korean capital. Elements of the division linked up with the 187th Airborne Infantry at Sunch'on and other elements turned southwest to Chinnamp'o the main port of North Korea. Oon 1 November a new more savage conflict began. Waves of enemy forces swept over the 1st Cavalry Division area near Unsan and the division fell back to a line between the coast and the Taedong River valley. By 12 December the division had withdrawn to only six miles north of Seoul and in January 1951 it occupied positions south of Seoul in the Ch'ungju area. Seoul had been captured but the enemy did not cross the Han River. When the enemy failed to follow up its recapture of Seoul the 1st Cavalry Division undertook a reconnaissance in force resulting in a limited offensive north and west of the capital. By the end of February "The First Team" had reached the Hongch'on area in the central front midway between Seoul and the Sea of Japan. In February the 1st Cavalry Division pushed to the Hwach'on Reservoir north of the 38th Parallel and then went into reserve. On 22 April the Chinese Communists began a new offensive to dislodge the UN forces and the division was given the mission of defending Seoul and the area north of the city. The division pushed northward and by the end of May it was again in North Korea. The 1st Cavalry Division's next assignment was to attack the "Iron Triangle" an area from P'yonggang southeast to Ch'orwon and southwest to Kumhwa which served as a marshalling zone for the enemy. In December 1951 the 45th Infantry Division replaced the 1st Cavalry Division which then began redeploying to Hokkaido Japan. The last element of the 1st arrived in Japan in mid-January 1952.
