Hello,
A while ago, I was doing a little research, and I found a picture of a Federal officer that escaped from a Confederate POW camp. After he made it back to friendly lines, a photo was taken of him and others that he was with during the escape. His uniform is missing his shoulder boards, which seemed unusual. My question is, would the Confederates have made him remove his shoulder boards while in captivity?
