RARE OUTSTANDING GUARANTEED ORIGINAL VINTAGE EARLY OLD '''RARE'' 1916 PAN CARNIVAL HI CALVARY PARADE WW1 PHOTO POSTCARD HONOLULU REAL PHOTO RPPC RP WORLD WAR ONE HAWAII ------ POST CARD PC - ANTIQUE POSTCARD CARD----------------------------- -LARGE PICTURES OF BOTH SIDES PROVIDED TO VIEW CONDITION --- - --------- THE SCAN IS ONLY 100dpi THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN SHOWN -- - THANKS- S/H OUTSIDE U.S. must check rate. -----GOOD LUCK - --THANKS I4 WE OFFER MONEY BACK GUARANTEE Schofield Barracks is a United States Army post and census-designated place (CDP) located in the City and County of Honolulu and in the Wahiawa District of the island of O&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;ahu, Hawai&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;i, United States. Schofield Barracks lies adjacent to the town of Wahiaw&amp;Auml;, separated from most of it by Lake Wilson (also known as Wahiaw&amp;Auml; Reservoir). Schofield Barracks is named after Lieutenant General, John McAllister Schofield, Commanding General United States Army August 1888 to September 1895. He was sent to Hawai&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;i in 1872 while, a Major General and recommended the establishment of a naval base at Pearl Harbor. Schofield Barracks has an area of some 17,725 acres (72 km2) on Central O&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;ahu. The post was established in 1908 to provide mobile defense of Pearl Harbor and the entire island. It has been the home of the 25th Infantry Division, known as the Tropic Lightning Division, since 1941 as well as the Command Headquarters for United States Army Hawaii (USARHAW). Schofield Barracks is also home to the 8th Theater Sustainment Command. Tropic Lightning Museum, Sept. 1999 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF Schofield Barracks The site which was to become Schofield Barracks was ceded to the U.S. Government on July 26, 1899, less than a year after Hawaii was annexed to the United States. The Waianae-Uka military reservation was part of the former Hawaiian Crown Lands and consisted of 14,400 acres roughly valued at $360,000. These acres, located between the two major mountain ranges on Oahu, provided central access to both the North Shore of Oahu and the Pearl Harbor Naval base and City of Honolulu to the south. While the area&amp;acirc;s strategic defense value was recognized, it was passed over as a site for a principal military post in 1903 because of the lack of a readily available water source. The Early Years Five years later the reservation was chosen for establishment of a major military post. On November 9, 1908, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the 5th Cavalry were ordered to Hawaii, greatly increasing the number of Army personnel on the island. On December 4, 1908, Captain Joseph C. Castner, construction quartermaster, arrived on Oahu to begin construction of a temporary cantonment on the Waianae side of the reservation. Captain Castner, with the help of local laborers, constructed tents for the officers and men, followed by temporary wooden barracks. The problem of supplying water to the burgeoning post was addressed in 1912, with the construction of a reservoir and water pipes to supply the reservation. In 1925, Ku Tree Dam was constructed in one of the gulches on the East Range and doubled the water supply. Finally, in 1936, a 1500-foot long diagonal shaft was dug outside the gate at Wheeler Airfield. In 1938 installation of the underground engine room, electric pumps, and piping needed to bring water to the community was completed. Schofield still relies on this artesian well today. The post was officially named in April, 1909. The name most commonly used around the temporary post was Castner Village, after Captain Castner who was responsible for its construction. People in Honolulu referred to it as the Leilehua Barracks after the Leilehua Plain on which is located. Some of the cavalrymen wanted to name the post after their commander, General Earl D. Thomas. ADDRESS OF MAJOR GENERAL JOHN M. SCHOFIELD TO THE U.S. CORPS OF CADETS August 11, 1879 The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and give commands in such manner and in such tone of voice as to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey. While the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels and hence manifests disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. The War Department chose instead to name the post after the late General John M. Schofield, former Commanding General of the U.S. Army, who had originally called attention to Hawaii&amp;acirc;s strategic value. In 1872 Major General John M. Schofield visited the Hawaiian Islands to ascertain the defense capabilities of the various ports. In his confidential report to the Secretary of War, Schofield advocated securing the exclusive use of Pearl Harbor through a reciprocity treaty with the then Kingdom of Hawaii. In 1893 after the overthrow of the monarchy, it was Schofield who encouraged annexation of Hawaii. He said, &amp;acirc; if we do not hold these islands ourselves we cannot expect the neutrals in war to prevent other belligerents from occupying them; nor can the inhabitants themselves prevent such occupation.&amp;acirc; In 1910 the United States Army District of Hawaii was formed under the command of Colonel Walter Schuyler at Schofield Barracks. It originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Department of California, then became a department in the newly organized Western Division. The number of troops continued to increase, and in 1913 the Hawaiian Department was formed as an independent command under the War Department. Schofield Barracks&amp;acirc; population numbered about six thousand men by 1914, with the 1st Field Artillery, the 1st Infantry Regiment, the 25th Infantry Regiment, and the 4th Cavalry all garrisoned at Schofield. The Permanent Post In late 1911 the Secretary of War approved recommendations for a seven-regiment post. This would rival Fort Russell in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Army&amp;acirc;s largest existing post at the time. Permanent facilities were urgently needed for the four regiments already at Schofield. The configuration of three barracks and one administration building surrounding a central courtyard became known as a &amp;acirc;quad.&amp;acirc; These were self-contained units and at first took their names from the troops residing in them, for example, the 35th Infantry Barracks or the 4th Cavalry Barracks. The alphabetical designations that we use now were given at a later date. The first two barracks buildings (Buildings 156 and 158, now part of &amp;acirc;B&amp;acirc; Quad), were completed in 1914 and housed the 4th Cavalry. The four sections of &amp;acirc;C&amp;acirc; Quad were completed in 1915 and 1916 and housed the 1st Infantry. &amp;acirc;A&amp;acirc; Quad was not constructed until 1987 and is of a different design from the older Quads. Construction came to a halt with the declaration of war on April 6, 1917. After the Armistice in November 1918 work resumed, and the field artillery area barracks were complete in 1919 (&amp;acirc;I&amp;acirc; Quad) and 1923 (&amp;acirc;J&amp;acirc; Quad). These quads contained only three buildings instead of the customary four of the infantry quads. &amp;acirc;E&amp;acirc; Quad was completed in 1920, and &amp;acirc;D&amp;acirc; Quad was completed in 1921. During the 1970&amp;acirc;s the barracks were remodeled, changing the open squad bays to semi-private rooms. Today, the historic Quads are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Plans for restoration and renovation of the Quads in the near future include an increase of living space for the individual soldier as well as private bathrooms. Quarters for the officers and their families were constructed at the same time as the barracks. Their design was adapted to Hawaii&amp;acirc;s sub-tropical climate. The wooden, horseshoe shaped bungalows take advantage of the mild Hawaiian climate and tradewinds. Likewise, the stucco quarters across from &amp;acirc;F&amp;acirc; Quad were modified from the original design at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to have pitched roofs which better protect the structures against the frequent Hawaiian rains. Construction in the 1930&amp;acirc;s reflected a style called Art Deco, characterized by its rounded edges and geometric orientation. Macomb and Funston were built during this time, as well as the Smith Theater. &amp;acirc;K&amp;acirc; Quad, built in the late 1930&amp;acirc;s, also utilizes this style of architecture. There are many other distinctive and beautiful buildings at Schofield Barracks. Carter Hall was built as the post library in 1915. It now houses the 25th Infantry Division&amp;acirc;s Tropic Lightning Museum. The Conroy Bowl was built in 1923, with the addition of a roof over the bleachers in 1932. Originally a boxing bowl, it is now used as a sports facility and as a staging area for troop deployments. The Soldiers&amp;acirc; Chapel, originally built in 1920 in the old Castner Village, is now located across from the Conroy bowl and is designated a National Historic Landmark. Other significant buildings on the post include the Stockade, which closed in 1977; the original Station Hospital, now a health clinic; the Officers&amp;acirc; Club; Fire Station; and Division Headquarters. More information on these and other sites on the post can be found in the &amp;acirc;Historic Guide, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii&amp;acirc; provided at the Tropic Lightning Museum. Growth of the Post In April 1917 the United States of America entered the war in Europe. In August 1917 an officer&amp;acirc;s training school was established on the barracks. Out of 100 students, 68 were local residents of Oahu of Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese extraction. Three other training camps followed in 1918. Soon, all of Schofield Barracks was called to war. The 1st and 9th Field Artilleries were the first to go in December 1917. The 1st Infantry, 32nd Infantry, 25th Infantry, and the 4th Cavalry had all left by October 1918. HAWAIIAN DEPARTMENT INSIGNIA The War Department endorsement of 2 November, 1921 announced the Hawaiian Department shoulder insignia as: An octagon of scarlet, the sides tangent to a circle two and one-half inches in diameter, bearing the letter &amp;acirc;H&amp;acirc;&amp;acirc; in yellow, including stitching, all elements of the letter being one quarter of an inch wide, the upright elements arcs of a circle with outside diameter of one and three-quarters inches. The eight sides refer to the eight islands in the Hawaiian group. Scarlet and yellow are the old Royal Hawaiian colors.&amp;acirc; The insignia is currently used by United States Army Garrison (USAG). The Hawaiian National Guard was mustered into We strive for *****5 stars ***** in all areas If for any reason you need to talk about your purchase, please contact us before leaving feedback.

The War Department chose instead to name the post after the late General John M. Schofield, former Commanding General of the U.S. Army, who had originally called attention to Hawaii&acirc;s strategic value. In 1872 Major General John M. Schofield visited the Hawaiian Islands to ascertain the defense capabilities of the various ports. In his confidential report to the Secretary of War, Schofield advocated securing the exclusive use of Pearl Harbor through a reciprocity treaty with the then Kingdom of Hawaii. In 1893 after the overthrow of the monarchy, it was Schofield who encouraged annexation of Hawaii. He said, &acirc; if we do not hold these islands ourselves we cannot expect the neutrals in war to prevent other belligerents from occupying them; nor can the inhabitants themselves prevent such occupation.&acirc; In 1910 the United States Army District of Hawaii was formed under the command of Colonel Walter Schuyler at Schofield Barracks. It originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Department of California, then became a department in the newly organized Western Division. The number of troops continued to increase, and in 1913 the Hawaiian Department was formed as an independent command under the War Department. Schofield Barracks&acirc; population numbered about six thousand men by 1914, with the 1st Field Artillery, the 1st Infantry Regiment, the 25th Infantry Regiment, and the 4th Cavalry all garrisoned at Schofield. The Permanent Post In late 1911 the Secretary of War approved recommendations for a seven-regiment post. This would rival Fort Russell in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Army&acirc;s largest existing post at the time. Permanent facilities were urgently needed for the four regiments already at Schofield. The configuration of three barracks and one administration building surrounding a central courtyard became known as a &acirc;quad.&acirc; These were self-contained units and at first took their names from the troops residing in them, for example, the 35th Infantry Barracks or the 4th Cavalry Barracks. The alphabetical designations that we use now were given at a later date. The first two barracks buildings (Buildings 156 and 158, now part of &acirc;B&acirc; Quad), were completed in 1914 and housed the 4th Cavalry. The four sections of &acirc;C&acirc; Quad were completed in 1915 and 1916 and housed the 1st Infantry. &acirc;A&acirc; Quad was not constructed until 1987 and is of a different design from the older Quads. Construction came to a halt with the declaration of war on April 6, 1917. After the Armistice in November 1918 work resumed, and the field artillery area barracks were complete in 1919 (&acirc;I&acirc; Quad) and 1923 (&acirc;J&acirc; Quad). These quads contained only three buildings instead of the customary four of the infantry quads. &acirc;E&acirc; Quad was completed in 1920, and &acirc;D&acirc; Quad was completed in 1921. During the 1970&acirc;s the barracks were remodeled, changing the open squad bays to semi-private rooms. Today, the historic Quads are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Plans for restoration and renovation of the Quads in the near future include an increase of living space for the individual soldier as well as private bathrooms. Quarters for the officers and their families were constructed at the same time as the barracks. Their design was adapted to Hawaii&acirc;s sub-tropical climate. The wooden, horseshoe shaped bungalows take advantage of the mild Hawaiian climate and tradewinds. Likewise, the stucco quarters across from &acirc;F&acirc; Quad were modified from the original design at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to have pitched roofs which better protect the structures against the frequent Hawaiian rains. Construction in the 1930&acirc;s reflected a style called Art Deco, characterized by its rounded edges and geometric orientation. Macomb and Funston were built during this time, as well as the Smith Theater. &acirc;K&acirc; Quad, built in the late 1930&acirc;s, also utilizes this style of architecture. There are many other distinctive and beautiful buildings at Schofield Barracks. Carter Hall was built as the post library in 1915. It now houses the 25th Infantry Division&acirc;s Tropic Lightning Museum. The Conroy Bowl was built in 1923, with the addition of a roof over the bleachers in 1932. Originally a boxing bowl, it is now used as a sports facility and as a staging area for troop deployments. The Soldiers&acirc; Chapel, originally built in 1920 in the old Castner Village, is now located across from the Conroy bowl and is designated a National Historic Landmark. Other significant buildings on the post include the Stockade, which closed in 1977; the original Station Hospital, now a health clinic; the Officers&acirc; Club; Fire Station; and Division Headquarters. More information on these and other sites on the post can be found in the &acirc;Historic Guide, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii&acirc; provided at the Tropic Lightning Museum. Growth of the Post In April 1917 the United States of America entered the war in Europe. In August 1917 an officer&acirc;s training school was established on the barracks. Out of 100 students, 68 were local residents of Oahu of Hawaiian, Chinese, and Japanese extraction. Three other training camps followed in 1918. Soon, all of Schofield Barracks was called to war. The 1st and 9th Field Artilleries were the first to go in December 1917. The 1st Infantry, 32nd Infantry, 25th Infantry, and the 4th Cavalry had all left by October 1918. HAWAIIAN DEPARTMENT INSIGNIA The War Department endorsement of 2 November, 1921 announced the Hawaiian Department shoulder insignia as: An octagon of scarlet, the sides tangent to a circle two and one-half inches in diameter, bearing the letter &acirc;H&acirc;&acirc; in yellow, including stitching, all elements of the letter being one quarter of an inch wide, the upright elements arcs of a circle with outside diameter of one and three-quarters inches. The eight sides refer to the eight islands in the Hawaiian group. Scarlet and yellow are the old Royal Hawaiian colors.&acirc; The insignia is currently used by United States Army Garrison (USAG).

Schofield Barracks lies adjacent to the town of Wahiaw&amp;Auml;, separated from most of it by Lake Wilson (also known as Wahiaw&amp;Auml; Reservoir). Schofield Barracks is named after Lieutenant General, John McAllister Schofield, Commanding General United States Army August 1888 to September 1895. He was sent to Hawai&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;i in 1872 while, a Major General and recommended the establishment of a naval base at Pearl Harbor. Schofield Barracks has an area of some 17,725 acres (72 km2) on Central O&amp;Ecirc;&amp;raquo;ahu. The post was established in 1908 to provide mobile defense of Pearl Harbor and the entire island. It has been the home of the 25th Infantry Division, known as the Tropic Lightning Division, since 1941 as well as the Command Headquarters for United States Army Hawaii (USARHAW). Schofield Barracks is also home to the 8th Theater Sustainment Command. Tropic Lightning Museum, Sept. 1999 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF Schofield Barracks The site which was to become Schofield Barracks was ceded to the U.S. Government on July 26, 1899, less than a year after Hawaii was annexed to the United States. The Waianae-Uka military reservation was part of the former Hawaiian Crown Lands and consisted of 14,400 acres roughly valued at $360,000. These acres, located between the two major mountain ranges on Oahu, provided central access to both the North Shore of Oahu and the Pearl Harbor Naval base and City of Honolulu to the south. While the area&amp;acirc;s strategic defense value was recognized, it was passed over as a site for a principal military post in 1903 because of the lack of a readily available water source. The Early Years Five years later the reservation was chosen for establishment of a major military post. On November 9, 1908, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the 5th Cavalry were ordered to Hawaii, greatly increasing the number of Army personnel on the island. On December 4, 1908, Captain Joseph C. Castner, construction quartermaster, arrived on Oahu to begin construction of a temporary cantonment on the Waianae side of the reservation. Captain Castner, with the help of local laborers, constructed tents for the officers and men, followed by temporary wooden barracks. The problem of supplying water to the burgeoning post was addressed in 1912, with the construction of a reservoir and water pipes to supply the reservation. In 1925, Ku Tree Dam was constructed in one of the gulches on the East Range and doubled the water supply. Finally, in 1936, a 1500-foot long diagonal shaft was dug outside the gate at Wheeler Airfield. In 1938 installation of the underground engine room, electric pumps, and piping needed to bring water to the community was completed. Schofield still relies on this artesian well today. The post was officially named in April, 1909. The name most commonly used around the temporary post was Castner Village, after Captain Castner who was responsible for its construction. People in Honolulu referred to it as the Leilehua Barracks after the Leilehua Plain on which is located. Some of the cavalrymen wanted to name the post after their commander, General Earl D. Thomas. ADDRESS OF MAJOR GENERAL JOHN M. SCHOFIELD TO THE U.S. CORPS OF CADETS August 11, 1879 The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and give commands in such manner and in such tone of voice as to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey. While the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels and hence manifests disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself.

Due to a mechanical failure, our computer crashed a little over five weeks ago and the retrieval process on our hard drive data has been very slow, but mostly successful. We are back online and hope to have no more problems. We do apologize for our absence and greatly appreciate your interest in our listings. Our reserve is the opening bid. PLEASE NOTE: This is an antique an original postcard printed in 1909 for the 1910 Annual Floral Parade Mid Pacific Carnival in Honolulu. It is NOT A REPRINT. This is a rare and beautiful piece of art! It is a stunning postcard advertising the Annual Floral Parade, Mid Pacific Carnival to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii on February 22, 1910! A beautiful Hawaiian woman, most likely royalty, rides a white horse while carrying a red flag marked &amp;quot;Aloha&amp;quot;. The upper left corner is marked H. M. Mist, the H may be an M, followed by we believe Balsam 1909. This was printed by Rommler &amp;amp; Jonas in Dresden, Germany. The colors are vivid and rich and the postcard is in great condition! The corner tips are slightly bumped and there is a slight hint of a bend, not really worth mentioning, at the upper right corner tip area. We prefer not to omit. There is a very light black diagonal line running across the flag pole she carries a a little to her right just above the palms. This may have occurred during the printing process, but could also be a very slight smudge. This was not mailed, but there is penciled script asking what the price would have been for 10 m. It is just under 3 1/2 inches by just under 5 1/2 inches. What an amazing and stunning antique postcard of Honolulu's Annual Floral Parade held in 1910, over 100 years ago! Please email questions. We pack with great care using heavy cardboard. Please email questions. This 100 year old postcard is stunning, with rich and vibrant colors and it is in wonderful condition! The pale black line across the flagpole and the black smudge to her right, above the palm trees may have been caused in the printing. They are not very noticeable on the actual postcard. Enhancing and enlarging make them stand out more. On Mar-10-11 at 20:13:29 PST, seller added the following information: **********PLEASE NOTE********** We will ship Internationally. For some reason, the listing form would not accept this option.
