world war I nerd Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #380 Posted April 13, 2019 A pair of 3rd Division lieutenants, possibly from the 7th Infantry Regiment in Germany, 1919. The right hand lieutenant appears to be wearing a Distinguished Cross ribbon, followed by a Victory Medal ribbon with four or five campaign stars, and two wound chevrons on his lower right hand sleeve. Close up of the presumed DSC awardee. Does anybody recognize him? The same image, but in grayscale this time. And finally, a close up of his ribbons. Does that look like a DSC ribbon?

world war I nerd Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share #384 Posted April 19, 2019 A pair of MPs mounted on motorcycles. Maybe in France, 1918 or Maybe in Germany, 1919. Close up of the MPs showing Infantry collar discs, one overseas service chevron, and two red on black or dark blue MP brassards. Also, is it just me, or does anyone else think that the motorcycle have been camouflaged with a second color of paint? Look at the gas tanks. Is it mud or is it paint?

world war I nerd Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share #386 Posted April 27, 2019 Hard to see the regimental number on the cavalry branch of service cap badges, worn by these cavalry troopers, circa 1911, but I think they're from the 4th Cavalry Regiment. Note the mixture of 1907 and 1911 service coats and service caps. Close up of the two styles of caps and coats, as well as the leather garrison belts and pistol and rifle cartridge boxes.

world war I nerd Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share #388 Posted April 27, 2019 A nice display of the U.S. Army's winter clothing circa 1917. It's comprised of the 1913 Overcoat and one of the, I think, five iterations of the 1907 Winter Field Cap, worn here, with the ear-flaps down.

world war I nerd Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share #391 Posted May 3, 2019 Not sure of the date on this one. Could be anywhere between 1916 and 1918. Also unsure if it's Regular Army or National Guard. But I am reasonably sure that the soldier wearing the natty bow tie is named Floyd Scott, because that's what's written on the reverse of the image.

Here's a pre-WW I sailor playing dress-up. He's got the full 1910 infantry equipment on as if he's gotta' march somewhere Just the cropped sailor and his equipment ...

Close up of a few of the men clad in their protective bayonet training gear. And an even closer view of the one soldier whose protective gauntlet features a unit stencil. It looks to be that of either the 45th or 48th Infantry Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
