Name Photograph of child in military uniform with US flag


Catalog ID HCM5023
Year circa 1915-1935
Description Photo of a boy standing in front of a house with a brick porch, holding an American flag. He is wearing what appears to be a military-style tunic, with four patch pockets, and a turn-down collar. He has a campaign-style hat on, with no apparent insignia. There is a small device hanging from crossed rifles on his chest. He has a Sam Browne belt, a pistol in an open holster, and shoulder straps, possibly from a backpack.

"Raymond Hile" in pen on the back.

There is a circular impression, possibly a postmark, at the top, 1/3 of the way from the right edge. Possibly useful for dating and/or identification, if it can be read.
