    Captain Allison photo

    Ive run across an interesting picture of a CSA Captain with shoulder insignia with the Austrian grouping of three bars rather than the Federal two bars. The picture link is noted below.
    Kind regards

    Possibly a militia photo or State regs...There is an Early-War photo of Gen. Carnot Posey, in his uniform, with crescent moons on his shoulder straps....

      Capt. Allison was a handsome devil, wasn't he. But then again, he was a Texan.

      Thanks for posting that image. Our group portrays the 6th Texas, which also was at Arkansas Post. Perhaps our newly-elected Captain will adopt the three bar shoulder straps.
