  • Description
  • The cavalry comes to the Labor Day mock battle. Two columns of three mounted soldiers walk down the field. A person walks on foot down the sidewalk to the left. Infantrymen and the public join together for this mock battle on Labor Day in 1918. Luckily, many of these soldiers probably never saw battle- this photograph was taken in September 1918 and Germany surrendered on Armistice Day, November 11 1918.
