20th Regiment, VRC is recruiting

[j2huggies]

Good evening! The 20th Rgt, VRC is open and recruiting. It is a brand new unit and will be backed by the Union Volunteers organization. I am looking to replicate the Veteran Reserve Corps (formerly the Invalid Corps) at events by demonstrating some of the tasks and duties they would have performed. We will also participate in some fighting, but that is not the main goal of the unit. The VRC enabled those soldiers who were disabled to assist in other functions rather than being discharged (if they met medical requirements). This included guard/sentry duty, stewards, hospital aides, assistant cooks. The uniform is fairly easy to acquire *sky blue trousers, VRC jacket (avail at several vendors)*. Please PM me or email me ([email protected]) for more info.

I wish you success in forming this unit. I have always thought that the VCR uniform was good looking. The light blue with dark blue trim was in my opinion n attractive and practical uniform.

Hope your recruiting goes well. Keep us updated and let us know what events you'll be at.

Good luck with your unit! My G-G Uncle, Miles S. Adams, was an officer in the 20th Regiment, V.R.C.

Good luck! The hobby could use some hospital, prison, and train guards.

Where are you based? I have always thought that the original VRC was a great organization since it gave people like myself the opportunity to serve their country.

I'm out of Northern Maryland but I'll accept recruits from pretty much anywhere, though I prefer to be near the mid atlantic region.
