Hello to you all,
Some time ago I read somewhere that at the reenactment of First Manassas in 1986, there was a group portraying the Monroe Guards, co. D, 27th Virginia.
They had done a lot of research and wore a Dark blue frock coat, trousers, and a two tone shako with a wreath with " MG ", and as equipment they had a white belt and militia style cross belts.
Does anyone have a picture of this, or more information about this uniform, I want to find out of this uniform had trim, and what colour, and what the two colours of the two tone shako were.
Information about uniforms of the other companies of the 27th Virginia are also welcome.
Thanks and best wishes,
Johan Heitzer
