Here's Bill Smith!

[Robert Gray]

Is anyone out there searching for an ancestor named Bill Smith who served in a western regiment that was equipped with Enfield rifles? Well here he is! Now if you would please return the favor by identifying that regiment for me I'd be much obliged.

Not my relative, but the unit is Co. G 10th Kentucky (3 Bde/3rd Div/XIV Corps/AotC). BTW, I did no research for this. Another historian posted this on a Facebook group I'm a member of focused on the Atlanta Campaign. This is at Chattanooga just before the campaign started.

Really great photo of a western company: mostly sack coats, several frocks, a jacket or two, many without breast plates, a wide variety of hats. In addition, probably the shortest infantryman I've ever seen!

Haha, never noticed that guy. He must've had to really stretch to draw the ramrod. He is a good candidate to invest in a Henry.

Probably the meanest of the lot.

My thanks to Dan Masters and Nathan Long for identifying this as Company G, 10th Kentucky Infantry.
