Arizona Memory Project at the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records (part of the
Arizona Military Museum collection), showing the 158th Infantry at Naco, Arizona on 6 October 1917. They are preparing to depart for service in World War I.

Among the men in the 158th at the time was a Vicente Campuzano, who I believe was
Vicente Jr, brother of my great-grandfather Plutarco Campuzano. I have an inquiry in with the Arizona Military Museum and Arizona State University's Archives, in the hopes that a service record for this Vicente exists. The 158th Infantry were sent to France, and later became known as the Arizona Bushmasters.
There is a lot more to this story, and I can't wait for more information.
