Re: Mounted policeman and tank

Here we have Stephen Sabo of the 1st Armored Divisions MP section at Fort Hood in 1952. The photo is marked on the reverse as Stephen Sabo one of the mounted police at Ft Hood on Army-Air manoeuvres. Until this photo popped up i had no idea about mounted cops in the States. https://www.facebook.com/...
