There is too much in this grouping to get everything in within 12 photos. What is clear this officer was slated to go on to be a High Ranking general Officer had it not been for his WW 1 wounds. He was a contemporary of Patton, Bradley etc. Who served as a extremely proud Cavalry Officer. This grouping includes his named M-1895 Sack Undress Coat dated 1915, his M-1926 Pattern Lt. Col uniform jacket dated 1929, riding breaches for the 1926 jacket, Sam Brown, and his M-1926 visor. The M 1902 visor pictured is not part of the grouping. Both jackets are in great shape, the 1926 visor has the sweat band removed which was common practice among the cavalry. The 1895 has Lt. Colonel’s Cavalry Shoulder straps and gilt Cavalry Insignia. The M-1926 has QM collar brass and bullion Lt. I added the shirt and tie for display purposes and will include them in the sale. There is media O’Plenty. He was gassed during WW 1 which seriously affected his health. So much so he was forced to leave the cavalry and joined the Quartermaster Corps in charge of remounts for the Cavalry. He wrote a Book, “An Analysis of Horsemanship” which a copy is included. I have his book research, galleries and letters from many officers he sent copies. There is a riker mount with Bullion Major’s rank, Sterling Col’s eagles, a couple of war relic bring backs, his ID bracelet, ID Card, WW 1 Era collar Insignia for when he was the Adjutant tot he General, and his mini medals. Another Riker Mount has his certificates of promotion, War College Diploma and more. A third Riker Mount has a letter and envelope from then Brig General Walter Short. The same Walter Short who was a Lt. Gen in charge of the US Army during Pearl Harbor. His force retirement was tragic to many including General Douglas MacArthur. There is an original letter from the General dated 1935 expressing his sadness at Smalley’s forced medical retirement. There are letters dated 1901 for Smalley to his mother as a young enlisted man posted to the Cavalry in the Midwest. Smalley served in the Philippines, Mexican Border and WW 1. His WW 1 Victory Medal has 6 Battle Stars He earned the Distinguished Service Medal as well as the Purple Heart for his wounds during the Great War. In reading the letters and various accolades he received from his peers, it’s obvious he was devastated at having to leave the service. He was too ill to be reactivated during WW 2 which was extremely painful for him. He fell into alcoholism which is demonstrated by a letter included in this grouping. It’s to who it may concern dated 1949 saying if he starts drinking again he authorizes who finds him to turn him over to his wife and to seek out AA. There is a Binder with many of the letters, memento’s of his services and photos of him mounted. Another pouch has many more letters. There is also a wide angle group photo of his Cavalry unit during WW 1. There are field orders he issued, orders for him etc. I’m sure I’ve forgotten something. Enlisted in 1899 aged 17 and retired 1935. During WW 1 he was Adjutant of the 5th Brigade, 3rd ID. At retirement he was Cavalry Chief of Remount. Upon his retirement Congress promoted him to Colonel as his record clearly showed he had earned the rank. You can see his ribbon bars did not include the Purple Heart but he did add it to the mini medals. He is interred at Arlington. I do not take measurements so please don’t ask.

I took this ensemble in trade on some Rare insignia. Everything on the Tunic Hat and pants are 1920 period originals. The tunic is Depot marked in the sleeve and is size 4 S. The EGA devices have been on it so long that they are indented about half way through the collar see scan. The pants are depot marked and stamped size 2 M and are made of some of the heaviest wool I have ever felt. The white dress belt and buckle are correct for the 1920 period also. The hat is the very rare 1922 pattern with a correct 1920 Pattern EGA attached. This Visor Hat is shown in Roger Benders Book Equipping-The Corp because of its rare nature. The Tunic, Pants, and the Belt are all named to a man named S. Cohen and the Visor Hat is named to J. This is not unusual because everything was Government owned including the EGAs and were reissued as long as they were not damaged. The tunic pants and hat all have light moth tracking but no holes that I could find. The hat sweat band has a section with stitching missing but still is complete and not in need of repair. If you would like to own a really nice 85-90 year old USMC uniform Group give this a second glance.
