Good times with the old crew out at P-Hill this weekend. Last of the Union Rifles. Went deep into the woods to look at our rifle pits from the 80's and 90's. Still there just a little shallow and full of leaves. Our old Union Rifles tree still remains somehow. Pic of yesterday and 35 years ago. Getting old!

I have to say y'all look a lot older now, and a bunch of y'all got new hats! Did you ever consider doing some GAR reenactments of guys touring old battlefields? Sounds like a good way to give people a synopsis of the action on a very local level with some eyewitness details to keep it more exciting than just a narrative overview.
 
😂 We are a lot older now. A couple of our guys do show up in GAR gear. Broken down bad. We skipped reenacting for about 20 years. Lots of new clothes, hats and gear. I got my infantry kit at Shiloh in 1987 when I was 12 from Dale Jarnagin. Trust me when I say none of that stuff fits other than my cartridge box

I doubt it'll fit me when I am too old to do reenactments but...
