15th Cavalry Regiment - All for One - AEF w SVC WWI Kids Hoodie

When the United States entered World War I, the 15th Cavalary Regiment regiment sailed for France as one of the four mounted regiments on duty with the Allied Expeditionary Force. The fighting had already bogged down into trench warfare and the role of horse cavalry was nearly over. The 15th was called upon to dismount and relieve exhausted infantry units in the trenches. It was the tank that finally broke the trench lines to end both the war and the role of the horse soldier. The 15th served occupation duty after the war until June 1919 when it returned to the United States. The 15th Cavalry Regiment was assigned to the American Expeditionary Force.
