Summary
[edit]DescriptionA Cazadore in action at Palo Alto.jpg |
English: A Cazadore in action at Palo Alto. The rifleman in the foreground is of the Mexican Sixth
line regiment, as indicated by the number "6" on the infantry bugle insignia, the latter worn both on his barracks cap band and on his cartridge box cover flap. Following illustrations by Hefter et al. (1958), the rifleman's uniform is distinguished by white lapels, a matching white band on his barracks cap, white turnbacks on his tailcoat, and faced with a colored plastron having plain brass buttons. White spatterdashes protect his shoes from the rain and mud. Black leather crossbelts are centered by a brass plate. Attached to the plate is a chain which secures a wire vent pricker and pan brush, tools used to service his rifle. His canteen is a U.S. made tin model, and he is armed with a British made Baker rifle. To his waistbelt is attached the Baker snake design buckle. At the rifleman's feet are fragments of paper cartridges and a waistbelt with the brass buckle of the Mexican Fourth line regiment. Burning cordgrass in the background, the result of wadding from U.S. cannonfire, partly obscures a detachment of Mexican cavalry on the horizon. Another cazadore, wearing a leather shako, is nearby.
