jprostak Posted March 11, 2021 Share #804 Posted March 11, 2021 Posting 1274 are New York State Troops. They are identifiable by the piping on the collars. Also the haversacks are are regiment and company marked with the soldier number in the lower left corner, a trait of most NYNG marked item during this period. The NYS haversacks have an attached leather strap unlike the 1878 haversack with the detachable strap. There appear to be Merriam packs under the attached canteens, ponchos and blankets.

scottiques Posted May 8, 2021 Share #808 Posted May 8, 2021 Just got this one in-- a 332nd Triple Patched soldier I wasn't familiar with the triple patches until I saw this. Housed in trifold by Robinson Studio of Alliance, Ohio. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted May 10, 2021 Share #809 Posted May 10, 2021 Nice one Scott! I picked up a crisp 332nd double patched last year, but unfortunately a grubby thumbprint over the Lion of St Mark patch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgsmvm Posted August 22, 2021 Share #814 Posted August 22, 2021 On 9/29/2018 at 12:16 PM, world war I nerd said: A captain in the Massachusetts State Guard circa 1918. Each state formed its own State Guard during WW I. The State Guard took over the duties of the National Guard after they had been sworn into Federal service with the AEF. The State Guards' were allowed to wear Army issued clothing. However, they were not authorized to use Army insignia so they would not be mistaken for active duty soldiers. Thus each State Guard organization adopted its own set of insignia, each of which was different. This photo was taken in 1918 of Captain Walter M. Pratt Adjutant of the 11 Infantry regiment, M. S. G. . All the metal insignia shown are standard officer issue for that time period (1918). The captains rank shown is the initial early officer issue (an oval piece of flat metal with Captains Bars attached to its top with a pin back to attach to the uniform). The brassard was also standard issue and can at times be seen sewn to the left sleeve. Sincerely John Gisetto r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the smaller sizes are missing (worn on shirt collars) and the large Lt ranks, Lt Colonel and Colonel. General Stars were worn as is not mounted on a metal Oval. These are Extremely Difficult to locate. If a collector has any that I am missing and is willing to part with them I would be willing to discuss that.

mrgsmvm Posted August 24, 2021 Share #816 Posted August 24, 2021 Here are additional variations of Massachusetts State Guard WW I officer collar insignia. The insignia, Mass State Seal over the letters M.S.G., shown worn by the officer in the photo is the most common/authorized one worn by all officers.

Logan C. Posted October 31, 2023 Share #821 Posted October 31, 2023 Picked this photo up recently. The back of the photo states a soldiers name, although I'm not sure which one is him. The soldier sitting down has a ribbon bar and a marksman medal which I found pretty cool. "Brook Carwin, 31st Balloon Co, Camp Knox KY." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
