Description
  • Here are the khaki types of service uniforms adopted for field use during the Spanish War and the Philippine Insurrection. Shoulder straps and double leather body belts support knapsacks, canteen and cartridge box. A cartridge belt is about the waist from which, also hangs the bayonet when not fixed. The leggings extend below the ankle fitting closely over the shoe. On the right, a Corporal of Infantry as shown by white chevrons on sleeves, converses with a First-Class Sergeant of Artillery as seen from three red chevrons and device on his sleeve, and the shoulder strap. The soudan hat adapted to troptical climates was, also, extensively worn by the Army men, especially during the Campaign in the Philippines. In the left background, mounted, is a Saddler of Cavalry, as indicated by the yellow Saddler's knife device on sleeve, also yellow shoulder strap and stripe on saddle cloth.
