In Response To: Re: Unit ID ()

Mike, I went back and looked at the picture of Pvt. Conn. It is hard for my old and unpracticed eye to tell much about his piece. The bayonet looks awfully thin, as if it might be round as opposed to triangular. He also has a revolver stuffed in his pants. Could these be photographic studio props? I know that happened sometimes. And is that a havelock draped from the side of his kepi? It appears that some kind of tassel hangs from it to the muzzle of his rifle. Or is it a flag? Do you know what the bright circles are around the jacket buttons? Stan
