in north and south magazine it has this in knapsack section "Shermans march to the sea was hard on the uniforms of his troops , and by the end of the campaign many of them were wearing confederate gray, from captured stocks"
Was anything done to distinguish the captured stocks from confederate stock?
If not, wouldnt this be a violation of the Leiber code?
Art 63 of Leiber code
Troops who fight in the uniform of their enemies, without any plain, striking, and uniform mark of distinction of their own, can expect no quarter.
