Tiffany Bernard Williams graduated from Kemper Military School (Booneville, Mo.) in 1914.  He was a Commissioned Officer in the Philippine Constabulary (1914-17) and was stationed in the mountain district of North Central Luzon.  His family donated his Papers and photographs to the University of Michigan.  Some of his images capture interesting scenes at Kemper Military School and in the Philippines.  274 photos are viewable on-line.  Google search:  MLibrary Image Collections - and look for 'Philippine Photographs Digital Archive' and then select, 'Tiffany Williams Photograph Collection'.  A lot of the photos allow zooming in on Krag rifle and Constabulary Carbine details.  (Kemper Mil. School, circa 1914)

Nice pics BR, in the blow up of the line at the top I can see a rifle with a piece broken out of the stock behind the magazine, same rifle appears to missing the elevation binding knob.  First two rifles appear to be without their binding knobs.

Madsenshooter:  I noticed some of the 1902 sights were missing their binding knobs.  The fourth 'cadet' from the left is the only one with a muzzlecap/sight protector.  It amazes me the sharp detail in these pictures, including being able to make out 'Kemper' on some of the buckles!
