Show INTERVIE~-l: Senor Santos Cabrerra Page 13 MC: Yes, there were very few, even in Texas where there are many Mexicans. VM: Mr. Cabrerra, are you a citizen? SC: No, even now, we still report every year. I'll tell you one of the difficulties, is that I don't know the laws of Mexico, much less here. What I lack is the education, that for one reason. If they ask me a question--well. I was going to become a soldier in 1918. I was registered for service, but it happened that day that they called me, and I went to the office in Bakersfield. Bells began to ring because they had signed the Armistice. Because of the Armistice, they didn't take me and gave me a letter of release. And in the last war, I was beyond the age limit, even though I was registered here at the Union Pacific Depot for service . VM: Mr. Cabrerra, did many Mexicans become soldiers in the First World War? SC: Oh, yes. VM: Who were they, Mr . Cabrerra? SC: Those in California? VM: No, those here in Salt Lake. SC: The ones I knew were Frederico Evara, I think Reyes Flores, Bruno Chavez, he is also retired from work now and is old. He lives on third south, I think. The others, I can't remember their names. You know, of my friends. Also Riley, he wasn't married then, either. I don't know if Vicente was registered at that time. I think he was. At that time, they got us all together, those who worked on the railroad here in Salt |
