Re: Little Army
Chief, that's an interesting statistic for a newspaper to publish. I wonder what raised such curiosity in the reporter's mind. Having seen uniforms of both Confederate and Union soldiers in museums, the sizes of the French poilux does not seem so odd. However, according to their service records. my GGF and two great uncles were 5'9" to 5'11" in height; veritable giants for the period! Stan
