Shown
below are military veterans who served in the Mexican Border War
and are known to have
resided in Madison County, Iowa. This war is significant to Iowa
because the entire Iowa National Guard was called into service
and deployed in this war. Winterset was home of the 51st
National Guard unit with an armory building one-half block north
of the Courthouse Square (now gone).
The Iowa National Guard
reorganized and the 51st unit became Company A of the Third Iowa
Infantry, Iowa National Guard (ING). During the Mexican
Border War, they served at Brownsville, Texas from July, 1916 to
February, 1917. Many went on to serve in WWI.
