What would be the time frame that this photo represents?
This thread has been very quiet.

Thanks, just wondering about the Good Conduct Medal/Ribbon. Since it wasn't constituted and authorized for wear until June 41 and it's for three years good conduct service, a ribbon of inter war service would fit the time period a bit better....IMO.. There are many.
I remember finding many pairs of those boots in dumpsters in 1958 while visiting my uncle at Ft Campbell and a few cavalry chin additions. Wish I had them today.
Cheers

By the way, you might have heard this tidbit before, we never called it a Good Conduct Ribbon, even though that was it's was officially called (and still is) but it didn't really designate Good Conduct but rather the recipient was never.....caught!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple a years back here is a place I went to for items. These guys are good. Although they specialize in Great War, many items are pre and post WWI. Some nice cavalry items show up from now and then. I'm also trying to remember one other place also.

I don't know if you can find it, but there is a movie called "Army Girl" about the pre-War US cavalry. It has all sorts of horses and cavalry gear. (The "Army Girl" is the colonel's daughter.)
It used to be on Netflix streaming, but I can't find it now.

A fight to keep cavalry horses from being replaced by tanks culminates in a great race between machine and beast.
