The uniform of the guy behind the bass drum would make the typical modern re-enactor very happy.

duggap said:Dean, I thought of you yesterday. The history channel had a presentation about the Spanish/American war. There were some wonderful original shot and the re-enactors looked to have done a good job on their uniforms. The bashes were abundant.
Speedster said:Others wore Campaign Hats inspired by Roosevelt:
"Milwaukee bowling had its famous Rough Riders back in the days when Teddy Roosevelt was president of the United States. Shown are the Rough Riders of 1904. They are (left to right, back row) Charley Henkell, Frank Fuchs, George Fronhaefer and George W. Perrigo; and (seated, same order) Tad Koerner, Fred Everts, John Koerner and Bill Andrews. John Koerner was an alderman in 1936".

Prairie Shade said:I really dont think the Army is Elite right now, only tired. I do think it would be a "symbol of a Soldier" to return the Campaign Hat to the army. I'm not alone since I believe I quoted James Jones on the above. How do you contact the DOA? Get rid of the Beret, give us something unique and American.
