Bucktails officers

[Billy1977]

Hello everybody, I was wondering if the officers of the 13th Pennsylvania Reserves (the "Bucktails") also wore the deer tail on their forage caps or if that decoration was strictly for enlisted men. Many thanks in advance.

Nice! Thanks LegionPara, that answers that. So the Bucktails officers definitely did wear the deer tail as well. Thanks again.
