ASP PRESENTS:
The Spanish-American War, Uniforms and Equipment of the US Army. The US Army had many changes in their uniforms during the Spanish-American War. The Army evolved from using different types of materials in their uniforms and took ideas from other countries to fight in the tropical theater. The Army then evolved again into adopting the Olive Drab (OD) to fight during World War 1.
Special thanks to Arty for presenting his display of the Uniforms and Equipment of the US Army during the Spanish-American War.

The blue uniform with campaign hat and a krag has to be my favorite in terms of style. I just love that look.

@5.7moy 3 года назад

I prefer the Blue shirt with Khaki pants and Stenson.

@bennychenley9113 8 лет назад

Spanish-American War is the last war to see Americans wearing blue.

@thiscrazylife3501 8 лет назад

+Benny Chenley That is correct.. the blue uniform was retained for full dress and Khaki and the later OD became the field uniform.

@bennychenley9113 8 лет назад

This Crazy Life Yep that's right

@Nick-ku2oe 8 лет назад

We should go back to blue! To hell with camouflage!

@mdeca0808ify 7 лет назад

Don't forget the Boxer Rebellion (even though it was only was a military operation; lesser a conventional war.)

As the owner of the items in this collection and videoed by Chris B. at a recent NJACC show I welcome constructive criticism, and additional info. I am not an expert nor do I clam to be. The items are displayed for all to enjoy. I have well over 3000 items in my 40 year collection from the Civil War thru WW2 including Ordnance { Hand Grenades } and long arms . Chris has had an opportunity to view and record a few . I do these presentation as a public service, and to share the collection. Enjoy.

This Crazy Life thanks for sharing this slice of history with us

@camphiker4468 4 года назад

I have a few questions about the U.S army uniform from a specific era. I was hoping maybe you could clarify a few things.

@mickeyholding7970 3 года назад

The 1874 mess tin is surprisingly close in appearance to what I was issued during my Army time 91-02.

@thomasredfeather277 8 лет назад

Great Job!!!!.... As a Living Historian for the past 45 years I was vary impressed.

@thiscrazylife3501 8 лет назад

The M1884 enlisted fatigue blouse-Brown Canvas Duck began the change from the blue Army uniforms. This was made for very dirty fatigue duty and the troopers found it much more comfortable in hot climates. Wool uniforms were often quite itchy.

Thanks for posting your videos. Finally somebody made a video about the uniforms on the Spanish-Filipino American War. We do Filipino Scouts Living History here in Tacoma, Washington and we wore those uniforms for our display. Trying to educate Filipino community here and let them knows we wear those Rough Riders Uniforms during that period the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902 up to 1913! Longer than the Spanish American War.

Tgastt Batangueno Interesting! I'm a young collector and starting to get into the history of the Filipino Scouts during WW2. I'll be doing more videos like these in the near future. Plus, I'll be displaying my collection of pre-World War 2 equipment used by the Scouts. There's not a lot of interest here on the East Coast in regards to the either the Filipino Scouts or the Philippine-American War. Good to know that this video reached you guys on the West Coast!

@r2ro43 8 лет назад

Philippine Scouts started during the Philippine-American War 1899. They wear the Rough Riders Uniforms. And the Filipino Rebs wear the Spanish Rayadillo Uniforms.

@adonisguy3243 7 лет назад

Tgastt Batangueno the Macabebe scouts wore the rough riders bdu.

@r2ro43 7 лет назад

I agree with you. My great grandfather wore them OD breeches , flannel blue shirt and lace canvas and Span-Am hat. They were 1SG Pedro Bustos and Atanacio Lacanlale. They were station in Batangas, Camp McGrath early 1900

@adonisguy3243 7 лет назад

Tgastt Batangueno is it true that the macabebes are the descendants of the Yaqui Indians?

@faramund9865 Год назад

I read the chino pants find their origin in the uniform of this war, so I came to check it out. Thanks for sharing.

@be2keen 6 лет назад

I couldn't help noticing that the quality of manufacture of everything is exceptionally high.

@TonyMon2033 Год назад

His kit is beautiful

@CW-dl2dd 3 года назад

Why are two sets of numbers on the Merriam bag? Two regiments? I have a haversack with the same thing, mine says A (as in Co. A), crossed infantry rifles, 202 (pack belonged to someone in the 202nd NY Vol. Inf) with a '33' under the 202

@onashenwings3850 8 лет назад

Omg the subtitles on this video, are hilarious. "Cock Drilling" "Light blue for every tree" and "using killed his dog bill clinton" hahaha Great Video btw, the man knows his history. Keep up the great work!

@spartanumismatics8165 6 лет назад

Khaki colored items and uniforms started being introduced in the late 1860s and 70s

@r2ro43 9 лет назад

The Philippine Scouts Uniforms were US Army issue Uniforms period 1940's. The Scouts was the12th Infantry Division of the US Army all native Filipinos and officered by caucasian officer.

@Nelson-rh7og 5 лет назад

It was also the last war were infantry officers carried swords. The cavalry kept there swords until ww1 although the patterns of sword changed

@northernknight7787 5 лет назад

4 Button blouses were also commonly used

Interesting comparison of the Spanish-American War of 1898, to include Cuba and the Philippines, and the Boar War of 1899 between the British and the Dutch Afrikaners in South Africa. Interestingly too, both US and British troops faced enemies armed with 7mm Mauser 93 bolt action rifles that were superior to the U.S. .30-40 Krag and the British Lee-Metford. Those turn-of-the-century brush wars would greatly influence what both countries fight the Great War (World War I) with in terms of improved arms, equipment and uniforms.

@AfrikaKorp42 8 лет назад

Both Spanish and American units were mostly using still black powder, single shot rifles, the M71 Rolling Block in 11.2mm Mauser and the M1873/1884 Springfield Trapdoor in .45-70 Government

No doubt you are an expert in your field Sir, you must however wear gloves when touching antiquities..

@harryb8945 5 лет назад

No you don't.

@humansvd3269 2 года назад

Where can I get a repro campaign hat?

@resolute123 2 часа назад

So when the Rough Riders went to Cuba, was wearing a blue top the result of supply issues or to identify easier as American troopers or both?

@petermartinez6741 7 лет назад

War is stupid .That what Omar Bradley said .

@albertpool9814 4 года назад

Weapons?

@r2ro43 7 лет назад

Not sure if they have Yaqui Indian blood line. Todays Macabebes don't even know it. What I know most Macabebes are tall and lanky. The one who recruited my dad in the Scouts were Macabebe scouts back in the 1934.

@threeforkcreekoutdoors704 3 года назад

As a civil war buff and reenactor i love the 1860s style best, and the uniforms are more comfortable and breath better than the modern canvas plastic crap

@tattoobillyband7725 7 лет назад

I got a strange hat burgundy color with a spike on top who could I contact to get it dated

@robertmunoz7543 2 года назад

Khaki drill?😁 Jman

@escargotiskuhol 7 лет назад

Great video! But please refer it as the American-Philippine War rather than Philippine Insurrection

@nigelvestrand4252 6 лет назад

escargotiskuhol it’s actually preferable to be called Philippine-American war. Like all other wars that are called like that, America is placed second.
