That older gentleman on the far right needs to watch out for the guy at the tee. That might hurt a little.

Seems to me the guy on the right is going to get smoked.

My father was a cook in the Army in the mid 1930's. I have the cookbook he used. I imagine this picture was about WWI era but it could well have been dad's era too. Not much difference. He road a horse and set up field kitchens. OK I see it is listed in the 1910's.

These images hardly look dated at all.

How do/did they know when to change from a winter uniform to a whatever uniform? is it by a certain date? or just certain temperatures?
Aunt Dot said:
These are just wonderful.

NiMA- If I recall correctly, the Base Commander (Station Commander, Ship's Captain or equivelent) would make this call. Local climate is usually a prime consideration when prescribing winter or summer uniforms. I can't recall for sure if CMC would set an ultimate date for the seasonal changeover.

The trouser crease on the left leg seems unusually conspicuous in this photo. It does not appear to be doubled, but looks to be much wider than what I am accustomed to seeing on a USMC uniform. It could be just the lighting. And regarding the neck tie, although the cleft near the top, just under the knot, may give a stylish appearance, in the strictest sense, it was not prescribed during the time of my service, 1986 - 1990.
