Identical Twins

[Lubliner]

How many are familiar with the paradox of identity between two brothers, or sisters, who happened to be born identical to one another?
Browsing the archives yesterday I came upon this picture, circa 1863, that is titled Gun Squad Drill. It appears to be taken in Fort Carroll close to Washington, but unsure of it. What really caught my eye, other than the clean clothing being worn, were the two men that appear, beyond all doubt to me, exact representations of each other. Appealing to the Ancestral heritage aficionados here, and not sure how well-known this image was, I decided to share it. Thanks,
Lubliner.

The fact that Union General Winfield Scott Hancock was an identical twin has been discussed here - mostly as a "what if" - - in battles they interchanged one another and confused the enemy.

Nice catch! I've looked at this image 20 times without picking up on it. There does seem to be a lot more than just similar hair cuts.
