In February of 1861 Georgia published uniform regulations for the Army of Georgia: Enlisted men were to wear black hats looped up on the left, gray frock coats with standing collars and single rows of nine buttons, and gray pants. Trim of branch color, black for infantry and orange for artillery, was to appear on the edge of collars and cuffs and pants stripes..
So I have some questions about the 1861 Army of Georgia uniforms. 1) Why black trim for infantry? 2) Why orange for artillery instead of the more usual red. 3) What color of trim did the cavalry wear?
