World War 1 Soldiers

"This other one as I recall may have been taken in Georgia and could have been at the time of the Spanish-American War. It's mostly a "remount platoon" or company (or whatever they were called). Lots of men on horses with many wagons in the background. I saw one motorcycle with a side-car in the background and noticed one motorized vehicle (might have been an ambulance). It is one I've never shown since I picked it up at an auction many years ago. It was taken at such a distance that we may not have any recognizable people (but there certainly were lots of them in it).

Now I'm considering scanning in some interesting tin-types that I've had for a long time. I wonder if my "advertising slides" would show up on the scanner? I've got 4"x5" stereopticon type slides (transparencies) that were used to advertise local merchants in (I think it was Arkansas City, Kansas) in between reels of silent movies. I also have two or three of the projectors used at those places. It's really kind of hard to believe all the "stuff" I've accumulated over the years. Some of it's for sale on my web pages at GoAntiques.com but most of it is in storage waiting for "the right time". " -- Roy K.
