Rare 1905 US Army 3rd Cavalry Mounted Photo - Sergeant Charles Newhaus Officer

Description: This rare 1905 mounted photo is of an US Army 3rd Cavalry officer mounted in uniform. His name was Sergeant Charles Newhaus. Approximate size: 5.9 inches x 7.9 inches The 3rd Cavalry Regiment, also known as the “Brave Rifles,” is a distinguished unit of the United States Army with a rich history dating back to 1846. Initially formed to provide security for travelers on the Oregon Trail, the regiment has participated in numerous conflicts, including the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, both World Wars, and more recent operations like Operation Inherent Resolve. Currently stationed at Fort Cavazos, Texas, the regiment is equipped with Stryker vehicles. Over the years, it has evolved from a mounted riflemen unit to a mechanized cavalry regiment, adapting to the changing nature of warfare. The nickname “Brave Rifles” for the 3rd Cavalry Regiment originates from the Mexican-American War. During the Battle of Contreras in 1847, General Winfield Scott praised the regiment for their bravery and effectiveness in combat. He referred to them as “Brave Rifles” in his official report, and the name has stuck ever since. This nickname honors their courage and distinguished service in that conflict and has become a proud part of their identity. Please inspect the pictures, as they give the best representation of condition. May have discoloring, edge or corner wear, marks, creases, fading, smudges, corner or edge bends, tears, or corners missing. Note that, along with the normal condition concerns, such as age spots, discoloration, dings, etc., there are pin holes at the top and bottom of the photograph. This is certainly not a mint condition piece, although its condition is in line with being around 120 years old. (D39 inventory number)
