Re: Should our clothes all fit?
I was doing some research for a paper and came across this quote, remembered this post and thought I would share it with everybody. It's from Warren Lee Goss' "Recollections of a Private"
"My first uniform was a bad fit: my trousers were too long by three or four inches ; the flannel shirt was course and unpleasant, too large at the neck and too short elsewhere. The forage cap was an ungainly bag with pasteboard top and leather visor ; the blouse was the only part which seemed decent ; while the overcoat made me feel like a little nib of corn amid a preponderance of husk. Nothing except "Virginia mud" ever took down my ideas of military pomp quite so low."
