“Captain Hanner is wearing what is commonly called a "Battle Shirt." Which is usually a thin wool shirt worn over the undershirt as a uniform. Captain Hanner's shirt is buttoned all the way down as a jacket would be. This would give it a more a more military uniform appearance. Hanner's shirt also has pockets on each side and brass buttons. Noticeable, is the U.S. Military Officer's bars on his shoulders. His officer's bars are that of a Lieutenant, so this most likely a pre-war militia photograph”.
