12A54 Posted August 30, 2016 Share #28 Posted August 30, 2016 Don - amazing history in these fantastic images. I hope others post here and expand this great thread. Re photo #4 in post 21 - is it possible that this Soldier is wearing foreign medals? The drapes on them look Austrian or other European. Am just curious if that could be the case and that it was allowed if so. Kind of neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Z Posted April 23, 2019 Share #43 Posted April 23, 2019 The Regimental Quartermaster officer in post #39 is really terrific. I am working on a book about metal QMC insignia, and its nice to see these in use on a real person. Thanks for sharing. And no, I will not add the picture to my book (its already printing as we speak!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agate hunter Posted January 7, 2022 Share #44 Posted January 7, 2022 Company F, 1st Infantry, Oregon National Guard. I'd guess early 1890s. Image was really light but I darkened it. Has Oregon state seal buttons. A soldier in Battery L, 5th Artillery, stationed at Fort Canby, WA. Photo taken in nearby town of Ilwaco. L/5th Arty was at Ft Canby from 1890-92. 1897 West Point photo of Earle D'Arcy Pearce, Class of 1897. He served in the Cavalry until transferring to the Artillery in 1898. He was in the Philippines in 1898-99 with the 6th Artillery. In 1901 he was commander of the 33rd Company, CAC, at one of my local forts, Fort Canby. He commanded the 157th FA Brigade in WWI, receiving a DSM for work during St. Mihiel. From 1932-34 he was CO of the 6th Coast Artillery and the Harbor Defenses of San Francisco. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/49349834/earle-d'arcy-pearce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
