Hello everybody, now I'm sure most everyone here has seen the Union's issue gum blanket/poncho that looked like this
So my question is, did the C.S. Army issue its own equivalent gum blanket/poncho? Because the Time-Life Echoes of Glory book about the Confederates has just about every other type of field gear from haversacks to knapsacks etc. but it makes no mention of a Confederate gum blanket. And I don't recall ever having seen one anywhere else either. If they existed could someone post a picture of one? Many thanks in advance.
