Re: QM Records of the 6th Mississippi Infantry

Will,

As current commander of the WIG I feel it's important to say nothing has been decided if the WIG will attend the Shiloh 150th, let alone which side, blue or gray, or even a unit impression. This will be discussed at the annual WIG meeting on Dec. 4th this year. Anyone who has fallen in with the WIG is welcome to attend. I post this to prevent any misinformation.

Re: QM Records of the 6th Mississippi Infantry

Agreed Will, even if the WIG votes to support the Independent Rifles venture into this, it will be handled by the IR and NOT the WIG. Let's not confuse things here.

Re: QM Records of the 6th Mississippi Infantry

All good and true authentics will be portraying the Bloody 6th at Shiloh 150th. Anything else would be uncivilized...
