Good point David. At Gettysburg, General Richard Brook Garnett rode ahead of his regiment at Picketts Charge. It was documented that he was wearing some new uniform items including tall boots as I recall. He was quite distinguishable on the field. But his body wasn't even identified and confirmed as recovered from the field. A marker in Hollywood Cemetery to the dead of Gettysburg states only that the remains of Garnett were "believed" to be in the inventory of bodies returned from Gettysburg.
