What branch of the military wore this uniform?

I think the uniform is most probably First World War, but I wonder if it could be from the Spanish-American War. See these images:

Soldiers during the Spanish-American War dressed in khaki uniforms based on those worn by the British. These soldiers wait on the field in 1898.

That appears to me to be a 1914 or 1917 US Army Uniform.

Which means it could be from US involvement in Mexico..

  • 1913-1914. - U.S. troops carried out a skirmish against Huerta's forces in Veracruz.

  • March 1916 – February 1917 - Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing's expedition of about 10,000 soldiers went into Mexico trying to capture Pancho Villa after he raided into the US. They spent 11 months unsuccessfully chasing him.

  • April 6, 1917 - November 11, 1918. and WWI of course

  • 1918–1919. Minor clashes with Mexican irregulars, as well as Mexican Federales near Nogalas Az.
