Warmest soldier in the army, dog in his fur coat on what looks to be a chilly day. AND, why is there a metal bed pan on a pedestal in their front yard? If that is a soldier's idea of a bird bath in the middle of a war I'll be delighted all day long.
Could not reconcile it with my conscience posting this in the photo forum. Besides, our puppies deserve their own place.
What does drive me a little crazy is orphaning these scenes- just ' Dog in camp, looks like a cold day ' doesn't work. @LoyaltyOfDogs , is this photo in the collection of ' dogs in camp '?
1864, Bermuda Hundred, town outside Richmond with a series of battles swiping the name for ' The Bermuda Hundred Campaign '. That was Spring, not sure we'd see these overcoats in May and June, in Virginia. Ben Butler was having a shot at it, albeit the months do not fit with this photo. Looks chilly, may be a camp in place after the campaign, photo taken that Fall.
