good looking group and that may be the canvas covering for the .50.

Excellent period photo, the guys look like aviators in leather and goggles.

I think SC is right about the canvas cover.

Glad to see you got a handle on posting your pics John

I think you guys are right on the .50.It is probably bigger than I think and with the cover would fit.

Thanks for being patient with me learning the ropes of picture posting.

Anyone have interest in other horse cavalry pics?

I'd like to see more pictures, John.

Where did you get the photo from? Was it handed down from someone in your family?

These were taken by my father Francis L Moore.

This would have been taken when he went to Ft.Riley to go thru Saddler's School.He was later Troop Saddler.

I was at FT. Riley for a while but it sure didn't look like that.
