Yankees or Rebels?

The uniforms of the Paraguayan War as well as most South American uniforms are not well known or much studied in the United States. More information is slowly becoming available in English. Mistaken forgien uniforms for American Civi War uniform s is rather common. I have helped identify three different Civil War uniforms for people which turned out to be Italian army uniforms. .

I have to wonder, do the descendants of these soldiers devote as much time to their memory as we do our ancestors and their arme struggles?
