Unknown (Dragoon?) uniform, interwar period

[Buckshot329]

Hi all

 

I've been trying to identify the uniform in this picture, the closest match I have found is a Dragoon officer uniform but he was never an officer.

What I do know is that he first served with a Field Artillery unit (1921-1924) and reenlisted in 1927 after which he was assigned to the Dragoons in Ft. Riley.

Am I assuming this picture is from his period with the 2nd Dragoons? What timefram would this be? 1920s? 1930s?

Thanks for your help

The 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment has had a ceremonial uniform for decades, probably going back to when the regiment was at Riley after WWI. I should think this is one of them .

 

Here it is in the 1950s in Germany.

A more current GI of the 2nd ACR with the uniform on can be viewed on this site, image can not be copied and saved.
