General Emilio Campa and his bodyguards, Mexican War, ca. 1914
The "Mexican War" in the title seems to refer to the Mexican Civil War of 1910 to 1917.
General Emilio Campa (front center), one of Pascual Orozco's subordinate commanders, poses with his five bodyguards. They are armed with a mixture of bolt-action military Mausers and commercial Winchester repeaters. Campa went over to Huerta with Orozco, and fought for him against the Constitutionalists. He was renowned for his use of una maquina loca or "Crazy machine" – a locomotive filled with explosives and sent steaming into enemy-hled towns. After Huerta's defeat in 1914 Campa started a revolt against the new government in northern Chihuahua state in 1915. – Jowett, De Quesada, Walsh: The Mexican Revolution 1910-20.
