The word is CAVALRY, not "calvary." You repeated this misspelling in every caption.
Thanks for the comment.
I often just go with the captions as I get them but sometimes have to fix small errors. This error seems to be a widespread one. If you visit Army.mil you'll see the misspellings running rampant as well.
To be precise, there is a term 'Calvary,' however. Calvary is usually known as the hill where Jesus was crucified. There are other uses, too. So it is a misuse of the term, not technically a misspelling -- and probably the reason spell-checkers don't flag the word.
We'll pass the blame to Sgt. Kingston on this one, since he took the photos and recorded the captions.
I've fixed the errors here and I'll be on the lookout for it. It kinda' reminds me of a time (back in the `80s) when we actually used typewriters. I had composed a long college paper with about 20 misspellings of the word 'interst.' I cringe every time I write the word now.
Later....
