Uh, no...He's the one directly above the officer on the right (with drawn sword)...Round glasses and rolled brim on sides of cover [hat to you landlubbers]...
174th New York Infantry (pretty sure it's a National Guard unit), I believe based at Fort Drum (but I may be wrong; there were other camps back then)...This is an actual postcard (it says so on the back!
) and I'm guessing this is the 'graduation' formation...I can't make out the date (or maybe it's the unit designation)...
The postcard/pic has faded over the years, it's brown rather than black, and it used to be pretty sharply defined...
