Participant List

[Ambrose Bierce]

So that there isn't any ambiguity and to be perfectly clear, registration is closed for this event.

Final participant list published here:

This link comes from research conducted by members of the Liberty Rifles.

As stated, the badges are optional, but many have decided they will wear them; the directive at the bottom of the linked page is pretty revealing.

Enjoy!

Re: Participant List

I would like to point out that just because it was adopted in February 1865 that doesn't mean everyone had a corps badge. Read the passage:

"Until more permanent badges could be procured from the North, “good temporary badges can be made easily by any soldier in the corps.” And when they were finally available from Washington, officers could “procure very handsome ones for their men at a nominal cost.”

So, it is just as authentic to go without a corps badge as to go with one. The badges need to be dirty and show that they have been in the field. If you wear one get it dirty!
