<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 85793, member: 54&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; We&#039;d still want an explanation of two pretty glaring uniform discrepancies-the T-shaped collar insignia and the missing Medal of Honor, which Gen. Jim Parker won in 1899 and would certainly have been wearing in this photo taken in later years.&nbsp; The doctor and the cavalryman do bear a facial resemblance which makes the disambiguation more difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pic of Gen. Parker late in life.&nbsp; He is wearing four medals incl MOH.&nbsp; The three medals together look to be different from what OP&#039;s picture subject is wearing.&nbsp; Remember the medals are always worn in the same order, which is the &quot;order of precedence&quot; prescribed by the service.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/004/Parker-General-James.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/004/Parker-General-James.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/004/Parker-General-James.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
