Old Military Uniforms

I found another interesting photograph taken by Hugh Donnan way back when, but not sure of the date. We think that it might date back to the Spanish-American War (1898). Why are there flowers sticking out of the tips of the guns. AND... take a look at the spats covering the top parts of the boots from the knee on down to under the sole of the boot. Looks to be a dress uniform. The photo is glued onto a cardboard decorative display imprinted with the Hugh Donnan logo. Anyone out there know anything about old military uniforms or guns that could help us out here?

This is one of those times that I wish I could reach out into the world beyond the living and pick my Grandmother Constance (Warwick) McGills knowledge of who, when, where the photo was taken. If anyone out there has any expertise, knowledge or runs across any websites that might help identify the year this photo was taken, I would love to hear from them.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
