raibos Posted October 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2020 Hello and thanks for letting me join the forum. I bought a nice old picture frame with a landscape print in it (bought it for the frame) and when I took it apart to clean the glass I found this photo behind the print. They look really young, maybe cadets? 1860 sabers? Indian Wars? I'm curious as to what and when it is and would appreciate any clues. Thanks.

USCapturephotos Posted October 3, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 3, 2020 Looks to me to be cadets maybe at a military school? I don't know uniforms real well from this period but think it's from right around 1900. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypilot6670 Posted October 3, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 3, 2020 I agree with Paul , 1900 or so some military school. Its interesting , as two in the front row have signal corps crossed flags insignia on their cuffs. The back row looks to be carrying furled signal flags. Nice image. Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
