THE CAVALRY

Intéressante photo concernant le respect du règlement (tenu de campagne)!
Le Andrew Hat a disparu, remplacé par du chapeau civil...
Les deux cavaliers du premier rang semblent porter le 1872 Plated fatigue Blouse...règlementaire!
Peut-être que the Old Major, ou le Capt Chéri pourraient confirmer?

1872 enlisted pleated fatigue blouse

Autre exemple de la blouse plissée...
Doug McChristian's critique: An infantry sergeant, c.1872-73. The "definitely unmilitary" blouse he wears is the regulation 1872-pattern for enlisted men. The absence of chevrons is proper, according to the regulations, as is the use of the company letter, sans branch insignia on the forage cap.

3rd Cavalryman in his 1872 dress uniform and helmet. Backmark on the card is "Howard Photographers, Ft. Sanders, Wyoming Ty". Company E of the 3rd Cavalry was stationed at Ft. Sanders in April 1874. Doug McChristian's assessment: As noted, this photo is of a 3rd Cavalryman. It was taken during the time the regiment was posted in Wyoming Territory 1872-85, which virtually covers the entire period the 1872 uniforms was in use.
