Eugenio Treviño Posted January 11, 2021 #1 Posted January 11, 2021 Friends: Looking for some documents, I found some old postcards, photos and an invitation that may be of interest and I want to share with you. These belonged to my great grandfather Miguel Bernard, who was general of the Mexican army during the revolution period (picture attached). Information of these two gunboats can be found on the net, specially for the Tampico; that during the revolution was taken by their officials and fought against president Victoriano Huertas’ forces, was sank and re discovered in 2019. Huerta was the traitor who killed President Madero in 1913. I lost my scanner cable 😬 but if someone is interested, as soon as I find it I can do some scans. The Yucatan and Bravo are also pictured here. Best regards to all, Eugenio. bruce d, Canute, Jim Lad and 1 other 3 1 Quote
