As the nation undertook the business of winning two world wars, tens of thousands of soldiers and airmen went through San Antonio bases. The picture postcards that they sent home uniquely document military life in these memorable years. One chapter of images eals with the Pershing Expedition's chase--supplied from San Antonio--of Pancho Villa on the Mexican border.
