On February 27,1847 Robert joined Company D, First Regiment of Foot Volunteers (Yancey Rangers)in the War between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. On March 15th the regiment reached Brazos Island off the coast of Mexico at the mouth of the Rio Grande River. The regiment was given the duty of transporting supplies to the front and up the river and overland for a distance of 280 miles. The last major battle of the war was at Buena Vista in February, 1848.
