abqpropguy Posted January 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2014 I am not sure if this is pre WWI or post.....I think he is very distinguished! He kinda looks like Pershing? The photo is in a very old frame....I have not taken it apart to see if there is writing on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted January 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2014 It's a US Army General Officer in M1902 Full Dress Uniform. Based on the lack of Federal Campaign Medals, I would date this photo from the 1902 to 1907 time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted January 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2014 That is a very photo. I would love to have that uniform in my collection. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIl Sanow Posted January 27, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2014 I would agree -- definitely pre 1912 when the new, wider top cap was adopted.. I agree, quite possibly NG, though could be pre 1907 when federal campaign medals began to be issued. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abqpropguy Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 29, 2014 I agree....I absolutely love that time period hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconrad Posted January 30, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 30, 2014 Probably pre-WWI, but I have learned to be careful with generals in full dress blues, especially if they appear of advanced years. They had a habit of being photographed well into retirement in their old uniforms. So an apparent c. 1910 photo might actually be from the 1920s.

abqpropguy Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted February 22, 2018 I just noticed that when I started this thread I had used photobucket and of course the photos are gone.....thought I would repost them! I was going to take new photos.....but being in a frame behind glass......I could get nothing but glare.....so back to the original photos.

GIl Sanow Posted February 22, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2018 I own a similar coat, cap, trousers and sash. (Search USMF postings for Gen, Charles Bailey) Buttons appear to be rimless, so are pre 1911 type. Collar trim differs from the one I own. Can anyone ID the medals?

GIl Sanow Posted February 25, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 25, 2018 Hmmmm -- could well be. He would have to have been in his 60's by then, and he does look that old. I suspect the other medal is a state award, though perhaps some sort of veteran's org. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
