Part of what we'll recreate with the 15th Iowa is when they were first issued ammunition at Pittsburg Landing. So here's what we'll do to accomplish it. At registration we'll collect 50 rounds wrapped in arsenal packs from every man except officers. You need to turn these in to get your boat pass. You will only need 50 rounds for the event. You will not carry ANY rounds or caps on the boat as there will be a lot of open flames lighting it. Yes, you'll be inspected before you get on the bus at registration to go to Savannah, TN on Friday. In each arsenal pack you must include 12 caps in a paper tube or someone will have no caps when they are issued rounds. All rounds need to be 65 grains of powder. You will very unlikely get the rounds you rolled as we're collecting 20,000 rounds that are going into 20 ammunition crates. Because we'll issue these rounds from ammunition crates, we want all the labels to be the same. You need to glue these labels to your five arsenal packs. Please follow these directions so everyone has the same 65 grain rounds with 12 caps per pack and the same label. If you registered for the event you were emailed the correct St. Louis label. If you didn't get it, contact your company commander. If you have any problems with your labels, please contact your Company commander. This will be one of many little things that we do that sets us apart from the rest.
