Wystan, Thanks for your efforts with the numerous photographs which document the National Memorial Service of May 11, 1914. We will be able to better link the related images and expand the descriptions, including the addition of a date where one is not yet included. We will also add that the cortege is passing in front of City Hall in this photo.

PANCHO VILLA'S ARRANGEMENT WITH THE MUTUAL FILM COMPANY: "In January 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood's first Mexican superstar when he signed an exclusive contract with the Mutual Film Corporation. In return for $25,000, he agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight whenever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. "Now the subject of an HBO film starring Antonio Banderas (And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself), Villa is one of the main protagonists in Margarita de Orellana's vivid account of the American movie industry's fascination with the events of the Mexican Revolution. "Through memoir accounts, newspaper reports, and analysis of the films themselves, "Filming Pancho" reveals much about how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how the film images reinforced and justified American expansionism and racial and social prejudices." --From a description, on Amazon, of a documentary movie of Hollywood's treatment of the Mexican Revolution. (The DVD is available for purchase from various Amazon vendors.)

Since March 19, 1914 Norhtern Division comanded by Francisco Villa, approached Laguna District by Conejos rail road station, some kilometers north of Gomez Palacio (In fact you can read in American newspapers of those dates, that Gómez Palacio is a suburb of Torreón [which is not. It's a city in Durango State just separated from Torreón by Nazas River]). The artillery was used to shell heavily that city between days 28th and 30th. So "near Torreón" means that the cannon is located in the northern outskirts of Gómez Palacio, unless the photo was taken between March 31st and April 1st, the the gun is in the southern outskirts of Gómez Palacio, facing towards Torreón, by Nazas River which in that district is the divisory line between both cities and the States of Coahuila and Durango.
