"Photograph shows two soldiers or cadets next to a cannon, possibly at West Point, New York." By J. W. McIlroy of Fayetteville, New York.

I like the image, I can't say who they are, they look like US Regulars, or as said West Point. The mustache says he is not a cadet, he could only an instructor. No insignia of any kind, but he is wearing a forage cap. A great image, I wish we had a better angle on the men.
