Neat photo! Chickamauga, Ga. was one of the SAW staging camps in 1898.
Troops were later moved to 'Camp Poland' (Knoxville, Tenn.), when water borne diseases broke out at Chickamauga.
The rifles in the picture are model 1892 Krags with 'clearing-rods'.
(I believe, I have a related picture at this location with the men in the 'kneeling-position' and rifles 'leveled').
