Re: Tremendous photo of Union troops
I believe that its the 95th Pennsylvania, Gosline's Zouaves. IIRC, this image was brought up in a thread about bayonet scabbards, but Im not sure right now.Robert W. Hughes

Re: Tremendous photo of Union troops
Same guy with the dress hat brass on his forage cap appears to have a tompkin in his Lorenz (others also). The rifle slings are very clear -- even one man carrying his weapon by the sling.Andy ConlonComment

Re: Tremendous photo of Union troops
I love all the detail close ups. I seem to remember this photo coming up before and someone talking about the Lorenze bayonets not fitting in the Springfield scabbards correctly.

Re: Tremendous photo of Union troops
Yes, they are 95th Pennsylvania Volunteers, Gosline Zouaves photographed at Centreville in the spring of 1862.Last edited by Randy; 03-27-2008, 10:31 AM.Randy Valle

The 95th Pennsylvania took a serious beating during the war, losing 11 officers and 171 enlisted men killed in action and another 73 died of disease.

Not very PEC, indeed. This stalwart appears to have "not got the memo" about wearing the haversack outside the waist belt. (Hope I attached it right....)Attached FilesDan Munson
