Notice the photo bomb on the left? This unknown military photo (no dates or names) appears to be pre-World War One. Any information you can provide about this photo is appreciated.

Do you mean the blob on the right side?

Look at the guy sticking his head out of the tent.

Jacque Trumbull Oh geeee I didn't know what a photo bomb is. And I take photos. Thanks! I see the guy standing behind the tent too and waving.

There is a guy on the left behind the tent.... Not the guy sticking his head out of the tent. The one on the left behind the tent waving - is photobombing....

This may even be a mining camp photo or a lumber camp. I don't see enough in the clothing to make me think they are in any uniforms. It's definitely pre-WWI. Even looks like there are gold pans under the left edge of the tent, so maybe they are panning for gold.

I agree. I don't see any rank insignia, and the clothing isn't very uniform.

Yes I wondered about that. The moustache on the guy waving behind the tent looks like civil war era (1860s). If there was a photographer name on it somewhere it could be traced as per era.

All of the jackets appear to be the same, as well as the hats. The person standing in back of the person lying down on the right side appears to have a medallion or insignia on his hat. Even thought the left side of the photo is faded, it looks like uniforms to me. The photo reminds me of others I have seen from the Spanish-American War.

Very Interesting and I think it's a great Picture of the Past. I have to say that I Love it. But I Love Anything else About the past. It is A great Thing to See what happens when you have Not yet been Born. Even though After You have Been Born also. A WONDERFUL Thing to know about How Things change the Way It was.

This photo looks similar to a photo of one that I have... At least regarding the military dress and style. The one I have was taken in the Philippines, during the Philippines Excursion/Spanish American War in the late 1800's / early 1900's.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to the photo right now. Maybe someone else would have one from that era and post it.

I think you are right about the time. I think they are definitely out of a war zone.

This is coming from a living historian- 1870's to late 1890's due to the 5 button sack coat

Thank you for all of the input. This gives me an area of time research.

This is cool! At first I read "see the bomb on the left?" And then I saw no bomb and had to re-read it lol🏄
