Hi all, figured I would share this photo that I found amongst my Great Uncles items. We think the soldier on the right was related to my great uncles wife.   Any way to tell from the uniforms/ rifles approximately what timeframe this would have been taken? IMG_3471.jpeg.a254f58350803d0d072c7c8f3b0a2185.jpeg

Krag rifles. They remained in service a bit longer in rear echelons, so a little tough to tell. Looks like a snap cartridge belt on your great uncle there. 1903 to perhaps 1911 or so. I think those hats are pre 1911 Montana peak.

Thanks warguy for the info, I was pretty sure the rifles weren't 03 Springfields, hopefully I can go a bit of Genealogy research and figure out the story behind these guys.
