HISTORY OF THE QND OAVALRY THE FULL PACK Formation of the Second Regiment of Dragoonsn was authorized by Act of Con- g7Eess,iMay 23, 1836. This was in answer to imperative calls for help from the settlers of ori a. ' Organized for immediate service it has since lived up to its cherished motto- Tou- jours Pret , always ready. ' r The Regiment has been through four wars with civilized nations and half a century of service against hostile Indian tribes. The quelling of the Seminoles inFlorida, of the Apaches in the Rockies, of the Moros in Jolo, the capture of- the Mexican battery by a mounted charge, the prevention of a civil war in Kansas, guarding the Prophet at Salt Lake City, fighting with McClellan on the Chickahominy, charging with Sheridan on the Shenadoahg wiping out whiskey traders and ubad Indians , feeding Hgood Indians , in time of famine, landing with Shafter in Cuba and with Pershing in France-are some of the varied and colorful events from the career of the c'Second Dragoonsn. The Second Cavalry fired the first gun of the Mexican War, was actively engaged in every battle, and after discharging the last rifle of the war escorted General Scott into Mexico City. I should consider myself fortunate to again have your splendid Regiment a part of my command, wired General Pershing to Colonel West when the Second Cavalry left Jolo in 1912. His wish was to be fulfilled when he landed in France with troopers from the Second Cavalry as his escort, first in England and France. The Regiment followed to serve throughout the World War as the only American Cavalry lucky enough to fight as a mounted unit, at St. Mihiel, the MeusefArgonne and the Aisne-Marne. After the war in France and guard duty in Germany the Regiment returned to a familiar landmark in its ninety years of service-Fort Riley, Kansas. Here, today, it lives up to its ingrained motto and is carrying on as demonstration troops for the largest cavalry school in the world . If misfortune begets conflict once more for the United States, the Second Cavalry will be found 'cToujours Pretu. HISTORY OF THE 9TH FIELD ARTILLERY . DOUGLASS O. PIPKIN The 9th Field Artillery was first formed after the United States entered the Great War in 1917. It was organized in Hawaii, and afterwards was split in three parts-the First, the Ninth, and the Fourteenth. After leaving Hawaii, the Regiment was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The Ist, 9th, and 14th were known as School Troops. In 1921, the 9th Field Artillery consisted of Headquarters Company and Service Batteries. The Service Battery was greatly reduced by casualties and disease. Soon after the 9th was placed on the inactive list and the remaining men were transferred to the Ist Field Artillery. H - About IQ23, the 9th was reorganized at Camp Knox, Kentucky, from the personnel of the old 4th training battery. After organization, HAM Battery was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, B and Headquarters Batteries were sent to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and 'CCN Battery to Fort Snelling, Minnesota, where they are stationed today. Due to the reorganization of the Army the 9th Field Artillery will again become in- active. The present HAH Battery of the 9th will become D Battery of the 18th, and the 9th Field Artillery will be laid away with many regrets. In our hearts there will always be a warm place for the Officers and the enlisted men of the 9th Field Artillery. Page Seventy-nine v V 'oVa'x'n'oYuYoVpVnVA l , i U
