Keith --

Images like these are difficult to locate, but I'd start at the Georgia State Archives. I would expect the appearance of soldiers of this battalion to be much like those of other soldiers from its parent brigade. The battalion quartermaster would have drawn uniforms and equipment from the same depots, so if you know something about a uniform worn by a solider from a sister unit, you can apply what you know about him in the absence of more specific information.

Obviously clothing, equipment, accoutrements and arms changed over time. Did you have a particular time in mind? Inspection reports for the Army of Tennessee during late stages of the Atlanta Campaign will record numbers present and absent, deficiencies, specify arms issued and usually give inspector's comments.
