Greetings all,
I posted a similar message on the Zabo's forum awhile back and got some feedback, but I thought I would check here too. Since Perryville is approaching and the battalion I will be serving with will most likely be portrayig the 24th Illinois - "those d- Dutchmen" - I was wondering if anyone had information on the uniforms and equipment the men had in the fall of '62. I have been to a website devoted to the 24th but it didn't help much though it did give some history on then unit and newspaper/first-hand accounts. I checked Arming the Suckers for a list of their weapons and was successful, but I still don't know exactly what the men wore. If anyone has images of men of the 24th or any information on their eqippage please let me know. Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Matt Cassady
