grayscale photo of men riding horses on desert

I am helping a friend digitize more than 900 slides shot between 1957-1961. She also has over 1,000 original black / white prints from 1929, 1937 & 1941 and she gave me permission to post a few here. It is believed that these photos are of Foreign Legion soldiers in the Imperial desert where California meets Mexico. Look closely at the photos and you’ll see the soldiers wearing French KEPI hats as they ride off into the sunset. I’ve enjoyed bringing this history back to life and I hope you do, too.
