    I think this is a calvary unit
  • Wystan said:
    I think you mean cavalry; Calvary is where Jesus was crucified.
  • Wystan said:
    Probably taken at the New York State National Guard encampment at Hicksville, Long Island, in 1913. (q.v.)
  • Wystan said:
    LOC -- Colonel G. A. Wingate also should be identifed in the photo caption.
  • Karen (LOC P&P) said:
    Wyston -- we'll add Col. Wingate's name to the record next time we update it.

    According to this: tinyurl.com/kkk9qm Col. Wingate was commander of the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment of the NY National Guard in 1913. These photos are probably taken on the same maneuvers in HIcksville as the ones on previous pages. See: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3774622759/in/s...

    A Colonel George A. Wingate is listed as the commanding officer of the 2nd Field Artillery, Division HQ, N.Y. National Guard located at 171 Clermont Avenue in Brooklyn according to the 1915 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac (on Google Books).

    Interesting -- the previous two comments on this picture, one of them mine, have been removed.
  • Mark said:
    There were none when I commented but it listed 2 comments after I made mine although only mine appeared.
  • Harry Polny said:
    I don't think this is an artillery unit, Notice the aide on the col's left, he's carrying a colt .38 model 1909 with butt foreward, spurs and boots scream calvary. Of course I may be worng artillery was moved by horse at that time ( poss. 1912- 1916). When do you think the pic was taken?

    I don't think this is an artillery unit, it may be cavlary
  • Wystan said:
    This is a scene at the July, 1913 encampment of the New York State National Guard, a training session held at Hicksville, Long Island. The Bain/LOC files contain numerous photos that document this event.
  • Karen (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks, Wystan, for this information. We'll add it to the record next time we update it.
