Description: As a first Lieutenant of cavalry, Wharfield was sent in 1918 to Fort Apache, Arizona, one of the old frontier posts from which cavalry units had gone out in pursuit of restless Apache warriors. He assumed command of a troop of the 10th Cavalry, the famous African-American regiment long active on the Southwestern frontier, and a detachment of Apache Scouts.
