Scouts and 31st Infantry photo references

These same links are in the Photos section but I thought it would be convenient for them to be consolidated and in here as well.

Thanks Philip, I've never seen this picture before. How can you identify the 1903 Springfield?

Hi Vic,

This was from the book "Odyssey of a Philippine Scout" and the cation mentions that as it points out the rifle and scabbard on the Sgt.'s saddle. And that they were still equipped with the springfield during peacetime period. It was I believe when war was declared that the Garrands were later issued.
