Nothing to indicate where this photo was taken except for the pineapple. Perhaps this rifle range is in the Philippines or maybe Hawaii.

Alpini
Here is a member of the Aplini, specialized mountain troops. He still has the eagle feather in his hat so this photo was either taken before 1915 or he was far from the front at the time. 62 Alpini battalions were raised during World War One.
