In the 20th century is was common for a soldier to have a card that listed and illustrated all the gear that was needed and how to lay it out in garrison (cool word) or in the field for inspection.
Perhaps some of us can conduct a similar service by laying out our full kit, shooting a decent picture or two and posting them in the Image Gallery for all to see and learn from.
Nothing rigid like a modern GI inspection, just a relaxed presentaion of what full and proper kit looks like. Accepted,standard goods only...drawers, muskets, hat liners to haversack stuffs. What ever you would normally carry on campaign.
Can we take that 20th century practice and apply it to this site?
It might help some new folks and it would be a good way to show off yo'stuff.
Something similar to these two attachments but obviously items from the first half of the sixth decade of the nineteen century.
