In the black and white, taken from Patches' posting of 12-16-21, the top kick in Troopers Three was portrayed by Murdock MacQuarrie 8-25-1878 to 8-22-42. 

His first moving picture was in 1915. He worked during the years of the Great War and consistently afterward .

I can't see all of the hash marks, but there appear to be 9 or 10. Plus three WWI overseas chevrons, very handsomely and creatively overlayed atop the hash marks which appears to be copied in the 19th topper displayed at a Hawaii museum.

He looks like a real top because he's old and weathered, like a real old war horse. He was 51 or 52 when this was filmed. IMDB states it was made in 1930.

His grave stone shows that his actual military  service was in the U.S. Navy during the Spanish American War.   Someone else can figure out what the rank "CP" was.

That's a unit from my city, Buffalo NY. Connecticut Street Armory on the West Side carved in stone it says 174th NGNY. You can also see a banner hanging on the wall of Sgt. Ernie Bilko's room on the Phil Silvers Show.
