jodhpur

possibly British/Commonwealth troops in WW2, looks like a Vickers machinegun?

oaktree_brian_1976 those are likely US troops training pre-war; note the jodhpurs and the canteens which are US design. They wore those helmets until the M1 helmet was introduced in 1941. The gun looks like a Browning M1917. Who knows who they are though.

Kevin, I believe you are correct. It also appears that the gun is not on a tripod, but is on an early wheeled apparatus. Strange setup?

Kevin, I am pretty sure you are correct. Notice the old 45 colts in the WW I type holsters. Also, the gun is mounted on something with wheels that I don't recognize, probably also from WW I. We have a WW I vintage belt and holster that looks very similar.

Definitely American . the sidearm is M1911. Web gear is American. I think the bag they all have slung on the left side is a gasmask bag. They are wearing Jodhpur style pants. The 1917 Browning appears to be on a wheeled Calvary machinegun mount. I am thinking this photo is from the early 30's. I don't see spurs and it appears the are using puttee wraps rather than Calvary boots. Because of the jodhpurs and the gun mount I think it is Calvary. It may be a National Guard unit

Is that Alice(in Wonderland)?

very original

Is she making a sweater of the fur?

This photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we would love to have this added to the group pool!
