  • Mclean County Boys - 63rd Illinois

    Pards & Comrades,

    I have taken on the task of raising a company for the Bummers event in November. It seems as if everyone and his brother has a foraging party for this event. I would encourage any of my pards to throw in with us on this venture. The core of this comapny will be made up of Genuine Illinois boys. In view of that fact perhaps I should offer up my postion to the highest bidder. :confused_ Send me a note if you want to join us or you need a home.

    As Division Commander I will be attaching myself to the 63rd Illinois for the event.
    This will be a very good midwestern foraging party so sign up gents we would love to have you aboard. Lt. Miller and myself will make sure you have a unforgetable experience.
    Cheers

            Hi Rod,

            I can now state that the Hard Heads will be supporting the 63rd Illinois for Bummers to help fill out the second ONV foraging party. We look forward to honoring these fine men.

            So for those looking for a home, the 63rd Illinois will be a fine grouping of Suckers - and we get Sorchy on top of that to boot.

            All the best,

            Tom

                Bully for the 63rd! You guys are only about 30 short of the best of Illinois soldiery (we being the 93rd), but it will be great to have you close by in a scrape or to collect any leftovers that fail to attract our educated palates...;)

                      Even though we have had a swell of enlistments there is still room. Join the McLean County Boys at the Bummers event.
