jkford Posted February 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2015 I have an old tin type photo (attached) that I think is my great uncle. He enlisted in 1896 and was in the Army Hospital Corp. Can anyone tell me if the person seated in the photo is wearing a uniform consistent with that time period or is it from an earlier time period? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobo Posted February 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 23, 2015 Their blouses look line 1883--189? 5-button pattern (with or without 2 waist and one breast external pocket) which were still being worn stateside at the time of the Span-Am War. Hard to see the caps, but they look like they could be M1895 forage cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
