Re: Appropriate Trim Color for Type 1 Richmond Depot Jackets?
Remember that the Depot system started due to the unavailbility of material and labor to clothe the army under the commutation system. I think the color of trim would be affected by the supply of whatever color was requested/required for the seperate branches of the military.
There is another picture of a soldier in the same unit as Thomas Owens showing the same jacket trim on the web page below. I have always wondered when the unit was issued these uniforms but have not found any evidence of time of issue.
