Whuzzat #43 - Pancho Villa's Dodge and armored car
« on: May 26, 2011, 12:52:21 PM »
Who is this young man, and what are the two cars he can be connected with?
Of course, we know him with a rather different face.

Only a complete answer will be worth two points.

This he surely did, but maybe not in a car.

Very good!

Especially as I am not sure that ths is really a photograph of him. He doesn't look quite the same as in his other photos (he is supposed to be 16 or 20 there). The ears are different, and ears usually don't change with age.
More later.

This car is presented as Pancho Villa's armored car, and I don't think that he used it himself. Neverthheless, la Brigada Zaragoza was  part of Villa's troops, la Division del Norte, in the Constitutional Army. Well done. That was the other car that I had in mind.
"Originario de Parras, Coahuila, y pariente de la familia Madero, el general Eugenio Aguirre Benavides (1884-1915) comandó la Brigada Zaragoza dentro de la División del Norte de Pancho Villa. Combatió como voluntario a la rebelión de Pascual Orozco (1912) y luego del asesinato de Madero se unió a la revolución Constitucionalista reuniendo a un importante grupo de hombres que peleaban en la región de la Laguna en Coahuila, con los que formó la brigada Zaragoza."
