ROLL--At Verona, N. J., on Monday, April 28, 1941. William H., husband of the late Margaret Dickens Roll, and father of William E. and David H. Roll and son of Sarah Shipman Roll. Service will be held at his home, 182 Grove avenue, Verona, Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
In Jan., 1916, a group of Americans were shot by bandits in Chihuahua, and on Mar. 9, 1916, some of Mexican military leader "El Tigre del Norte" Francisco "Pancho" Villa's men raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico, killing some American citizens. It is not certain that Villa participated in these assaults, but he was universally held responsible. President Wilson ordered a punitive expedition under Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing to capture Villa dead or alive. The expedition pursued Villa through Chihuahua for 11 months, March 1916 to February 1917. Advanced elements of the expedition penetrated as far as Parral, some 400 miles south of the border, but failed in its objective. The American soldiers came back with a thick coating of adobe dust, and hence were called "los adobes," or, as the Americans pronounced it, "the doughboys."

None of the National Guard troops would cross the border into Mexico but were used instead as a show of force. Nonetheless, activities on the border were far from dull. The troops had to be on constant alert as border raids were still an occasional nuisance.
|
Individuals not eligible for the Mexican Service Badge were authorized by Congress on July 9, 1918, to receive the Mexican Border Service Medal. Its purpose was to recognize the National Guardsmen and regular army troops mobilized to patrol the Mexican border between 1916 and 1917.
