Dating Old Army Photographs by Robert Pols is a compact yet practical guide designed to help family historians and researchers date military photographs from the second half of the 19th century through the first half of the 20th.

The book explains how even without knowing a soldier’s regiment, you can extract meaningful clues from their portrait. It offers a head-to-toe analysis of uniforms and accoutrements—from badges to boots—highlighting visual details that can narrow down time periods. There’s also a separate section focusing on identifying photographs from World War I and World War II, which often require different approaches.

At just 61 pages, it’s concise and accessible, ideal for genealogists who want to sharpen their dating skills without becoming full-blown military historians
