ARNORTH POLO

Players charge after a free ball in a polo match May 5, 2018, at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston. The match was the first time polo was played on the base in more than 50 years. A polo match would’ve been a common sight on Army bases in the early 20th century. Notable advocates and players included Gen. John Pershing, Gen. George Patton Jr., and Medal of Honor recipient Col. Gordon Johnston. The USPA created the Col. Gordon Johnston Sportsmanship Award in his honor.
