mconrad Posted November 28, 2016 Share #33 Posted November 28, 2016 Same guy? 15th-Inf-Closeup.jpg Hallers-Army-Officer-E.jpg Nah... Guess not. Maybe related, but not the same man, in my opinion On the back writing of the first photo, isn't SOKOL falcon in Polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconrad Posted November 28, 2016 Share #34 Posted November 28, 2016 2nd Infantry Regiment - Fort Shafter, Territory of Hawaii 1915 That's funny. I thought that by regulation the blue uniform was not worn in Hawaii and the Philippines. No denying the photo stamp for Fort Shafter, though.

mconrad Posted November 28, 2016 Share #35 Posted November 28, 2016 I thought I would try my hand at creating a thread of Pre-WWI portraits. I will start off with this image identified simply as "Uncle Roll, World War One." Probably taken at least five years prior to the US entry into WWI, Uncle Roll is wearing a cotton tunic with rimless M1902 buttons, fold-over collar, pointed cuffs and large patch pockets. Inf-1902-Full-Gear-a.jpg Inf-1902-Full-Gear-B.jpg Inf-1902-Full-Gear-C.jpg These I had trouble believing they were Ohio NG. Now I think they are also Polish-American Sokol.

GIl Sanow Posted November 28, 2016 Share #36 Posted November 28, 2016 Interesting on the two Army pals, two collar insignia disks on each side. Is that normal for the period? The "double disc" pattern coat was introduced in 1909, in OD wool and OD cotton. This coat is an earlier khaki, worn with the double discs. Khaki went obsolete in 1913 except in the Philippines where they were worn until replaced, probably several years later. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagjetta Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share #37 Posted December 2, 2016 Man there are some great images posted here! I am really enjoying seeing and learning about these pre-WWI uniforms. Thanks to all who have posted. I look forward to seeing more. Here is one for today: Real photo postcard, ca. 1905 of a state infantry soldier armed with a Krag rifle, possibly from Duxbury, Mass. (according to collector's note on the back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

338thRCT Posted December 25, 2016 Share #39 Posted December 25, 2016 I don't think this man is from a military organization, but I could be wrong. Any ideas? Picture came from Ohio according to addresses on reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
338thRCT Posted December 25, 2016 Share #40 Posted December 25, 2016 After scanning the close up, I realized how much the man in the 1912 dated picture looked like my father-in -law did back in 1945. Father in law was in 334th INF 84th INF DIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted May 11, 2020 Share #47 Posted May 11, 2020 I believe this sailor proudly wearing his Dewey medal is Ernest W. Turner dob 9/14/1874, who enlisted on 4/30/1892 and died in 1914 in Connecticut. I don't have my Dewey book with the crew names handy, but whenever I do, I'll circle back and identify the ship the medal is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuri Bezmenov Posted February 14, 2023 Share #49 Posted February 14, 2023 1/6th Ambrotype Confederate Civil War photo of an unidentified member of the Upson Guard Georgia Militia, later became part of the Army of Tennessee. It's in a gutta percha case lined with the red velvet material stuff. I came across this at a yard sale in like 2011 and not long after sold it to a serious collector out of Atlanta. It eventually ended up on the inside rear cover of 'Georgia Backroads' magazine. Wish I could have found out the guy's name but that's probably never gonna happen.
