Army Escort Wagon, Model 1917:
The four mule/horse Army Escort Wagon dates from the mid-1890s when it replaced Army four- and six-mule transport wagons. Used through the 1930s, the Escort Wagon changed little in those 40 years. The Wagon saw service throughout the West where it was used to transport supplies to remote areas. Along with motor vehicles, it was used in Mexico in 1916 during the Punitive Expedition. With the complete mechanization of the Army in 1942, Wagons went out of use. |
