[Anders]

I know these guys....and the gun...served on it a few times...

Pards,

Actually it's good to see artillerists with their coats on while manning their piece.....one gets tired of the Milly Pitcher approach to battle that many artillerists portray. Some of it may be galvanizing (but even that would be an excuse).....but there was a lot of vests and white shirts exposed at BGA Shiloh for example....

RJ, how about the fact that only one of the guys is wearing artillery trim!? You could give those guys muskets and traps, and they would look like they could be infantry as well. Just a darn good job on their part. I hope more artillery groups would examine period photos and look at the uniforms, just like this group has.

JRF,

I'm involved in putting on "Maryland, My Maryland." We're the group that's been doing good events in Boonsboro and other venues for more than twelve years.

You can check out our web site at www.marylandmymaryland.org and see what you think.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a buzz.
