US Army's Motorcycle Corps at Fort Brown


This collection of photos was taken in May of 1918 by Robert Runyon at Fort Brown.   Located on the southern border of Texas, Fort Brown was used for the training of the US Army's Motorcycle Corps.  The soldiers are astride Harley-Davidson J-models outfitted with sidecars or armored gun carriages.  Based on the date these photos were taken, it is likely that these troops were training for possible service in WWI.
