Here are some photo`s from the 1936 Pole Mountain manouvers involving the 4th Cavalry and National Guard units from Wyoming. The 4th rode from Ft. Meade east of Sturgis SD, to Pole Mtn. N/West of Casper, Wyoming. These photo`s illustrate very well the kit and uniforms of the 1930`s US Cavalry.
Many thanks to Bolo Mk1 who sent me the pics of his Dads old Cavalry outfit.
First a series of photo`s showing the the short barrelled version of the1919 Browning MG produced for Cavalry use.
