Retired Army Noncom Posted July 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2017 US Cavalry, mostly during it's "Golden Age" is my interest. Have had other collections during my lifetime of other periods in World History. Although I didn't serve in any Cav units during my service time, I was never asked where I wanted to go but I did tell the Assignment Personnel Branch where to go a few times The horse cavalry during the early part of the 20th century has always been an interest. I try to collect those items with names/units to increase the challenge of gathering further historical information. Cheers............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deddygetty Posted July 10, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 10, 2017 Welcome to the forum. I'm also a Cavalry nut, particularly the oldest continuously serving regiment in the US Army today, the 2d Cavalry Regiment, established in 1836 as the 2d Regiment of Dragoons. My dad and I both served in this esteemed unit. For many years I was the administrator of the 2d Cavalry Association history and news websites. The 2d Cavalry Association was the first and is the oldest unit specific veterans organization in the US, established in 1899 by our SAW vets.

Retired Army Noncom Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 10, 2017 4th Cavalry Regiment in Honolulu 1915 "Prepared and Loyal" You might have an answer for me,,,did Hawaii have a NG Cav Regt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted July 10, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 10, 2017 Hawaii - as in the Hawaiian Kingdom, formed The First Hawaiian Guard (Mounted) and the First Hawaiian Cavalry in the 1850's. They were dissolved when the Kingdom was overthrown. After the annexation, the US Cavalry Regiments assigned to Hawaii circa 1900-1917 were Regulars, primarily from the 1st and 4th Cav. If you're thinking of the Hawaiian Guardians 299th Cavalry Regiment, they come from Infantry lineage in the islands http://www.history.army.mil/html/forcestruc/lineages/branches/armor-cav/299cv.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a M-1906 sabre that has a double strike on the scabbard, thinking maybe it could have been not a double strike but an Hawaii 1st NG Cav Regt. Iowa had a 1st Cav unit that was called up for Border patrol back in 1916 so it has to be Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
