Summary
editDescriptionThe American Soldier - Continental Army.jpg |
English: Continental Army soldiers 1782. In the right foreground is an enlisted artilleryman in the blue coat of that corps, faced and lined with red, and trimmed with yellow binding and buttons. His cocked hat is'bound with yellow worsted binding and carries the black and white "Union" cockade. In the left and center foreground are shown a captain and a lieutenant. The captain wears an epaulette on his right shoulder and the lieutenant one on his left shoulder.
Both officers are wearing the uniform prescribed for the troops of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia in October 1779, of blue coats "faced with blue," i.e., blue collars, cuffs and lapels, "button holes edged with narrow white lace or tape," lining of white cloth, and white buttons. Their. coats adapted.to field service, reflect the shortages of supplies in that the buttonholes do not have the button holes edged with narrow silver lace which would have been worn by the officers in place of the prescribed "narrow white lace or tape" edging worn by the enlisted men on their buttonholes. In the background is seen a column of southern troops, in the prescribed uniform, with their wagons on the march. |
