I don't see many Great War photos with an American soldier wearing a tie. Especially such a wide one. He is wearing M1910 leggings so it does put him the WWI era.
Here is a doughboy with a more respectable tie. He is wearing M1917 leggings while the soldier to his right has M1910 Leggings on. Both cards are undated and printed in America.
A group in front of a memorial to the 5th Army Corps battles during the Franco-Prussian War. The chalkboard sign dates this to 1914.
An undated card with eight different uniforms including a musician with his swallowtails.
Jack from the Army Ordnance Corps thanking his father for sending him some cheese.
Oncle Georg Fischer written on back but does not identify which soldier that is.
Six members of a telephone division laying some wire in 1918. One soldier has a cable fork (Drahtgabel) used to place the wire up high.
A group from the 126th Field Hospital on occupation duty in Germany after the war.
No indication which Portland brother Will's boy is from. He is wearing a campaign hat with a branch of service lanyard. The army officially adopted the Montana Peak design campaign hat in 1911.
Two from Ray to Mrs. Mary Ernest. The postmark most likely puts him at the Columbus Barracks, a recruitment intake and training facility.
A pair of Holt 75 Tractors. The French, British and Americans used them for moving artillery pieces.
Two infantrymen at a stateside camp. This photo may predate the war as they are wearing M1907 leggings rarely worn in France. They also have on campaign hats that did not make it to France. The M1903 Springfield rifles were adopted by the army in 1905.
An undated photo of a member of the Motor Transport Corps. Taken between 1918 and 1920 the period of time the M.T.C. existed although the canvas leggins would put my guess at 1918. The M.T.C. was responsible for bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, and trucks.
