U. S. AUXILIARY REMOUNT DEPOT NO 319

Auxiliary Remount Depot No 319 was at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, 6 commissioned officers 75 enlisted personnel, opened 9-12-1917, Closed, Authorized capacity 5000 animals, average animal strength 3740

I thought the Depot 319 sign on the building in the upper left hand corner of the picture was interesting

The 1st photo; is from the archives of the General contractor that built the camp. It was taken right after the camp was completed looking west. The men in the foreground are civilian workers on the last days of construction. The railroad track on the right side is also visible on the map, at the north end of the remount area. The RR runs east to west. Note in the center of the photo in the distance several smoke stacks and a couple of water towers. Take note of smoke stack close to the center with the water tower on an open support.

The 2nd photo; is from the Contractors archives. It is a view down the chute to the dipping tank in the remount area.

The 3rd photo; Is Camp Zachary Taylor, Veterinary Dispensary, H-33.

The 4th photo; I thought you would like, I believe that it was taken at the Remount, but have not been able to verify that. It shows men on horseback and on training ponies. It is somewhat amusing.

The 5th photo; is a map of Camp Zachary Taylor. Camp Taylor was actually made up of four compounds. The Main Camp, The Remount Station, The Maneuver Field and the Rifle Range. This map shows all four compounds

As far as a date for the pictures I sent to you, I don't have a specific date for the images. They were most probably taken in the summer of 1917. By the spring of 1918, everyone was gone.

Also, after reviewing your panoramic picture you have posted on Aux Remount Depot No 319, I have determined that it is in fact taken at the Remount Station Area. It was taken around the southern end of the compound looking north. You can see the smoke stack and water tower that I pointed out in the second photo in the distance near the center of the photo. The road on the right of the image is Crittenden Drive, looking north.

There are no known maps of the remount station, and that is the only panoramic picture that I have seen of the area. I do have a few more photos of the Remount Station that have not been scanned, and I will look for them and send copies to you as soon as I can.

Thanks very much
