12th Georgia uniforms

[georgiareb]

hello fellas,
I joined a unit called 12th Georgia Co.F, its sort of a mish mash of progressive, mainstreamer, and hardcore. I am on the line of progressive/hardcore. But thats what i expect for being up north. My question is, wheremost of the Georgia unitos issued commutation jackets? or richmond depot? i would greatly appreciate some information on uniforms.

Sincerely,
Alex Belhumeur

Henry W. Thomas "History of the Doles-Cook Brigade" (Morningside Reprint, 1981) has quite a few photos of 12th GA guys in their first uniforms, mostly frocks, both blue and grey.

Try going to the sources as well:

I'm sorry to say the only Georgia regimental order books that have apparently survived at the National Archives are those for the 10th Georgia.

Hello Alex,

For late war use, there is a jacket that is ID'd to a member of the 12th Georgia which was issued to him in Richmond. It's a rather simple roundabout jacket (cut a little differently from a RD jacket, but along those lines), with Georgia buttons. As noted, for early war, there are surviving photos of the 12th in frocks.

Are you in the 12th Ga. that's located in New England?
