another vintage trapdoor picture

Here's one of the 20th Kansas in the Phillipines. The original is obviously from a steriopticon and comes across when viewed on the machine much clearer.

Neat picture - half of a stereo print. Definitely posed - note half-cocked hammers. Thanks.

Here's another posed "action" shot shot.The soldier closest to the viewer is wearing a Krag 100 round cartridge belt.

This picture was taken, circa 1900, at what was then 'The Michigan Military Academy'. This is supposedly the place where General Sherman gave his "War is Hell" speech. The building is still standing, on the St. Mary's Orchard Lake Campus. I can't tell if the Springfields are full length or Cadet versions.

I don't know if this American Officer with the shades had sensitive eyes or was young Dr. Strangelove. They are in the Philippines. The 'Carmen Miranda' could be anywhere. Hopefully, not in Michigan. 'I love the smell of Black Powder in the Morning'!

This is a U. S. Signal Corps field telegraph station, believed to be outside of Manila during the SAW. The 'dispatch riders' have Model 1873 Carbines.
