Kepi for Union Infantry Private

[robwall1861]

Guys,

Having seen a lot of photos of Union Infantry Privates wearing Forage Caps, is there any out there that shows them wearing a Kepi? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. I have seen examples of Kepi's in EOG/Union, but none on Union Infantry Privates (that I can recall).

Thanks in advance and hope everyone has a good weekend.

Robin,

I have seen a few pictures of soldiers wearing kepis. One such is a picture of the First Rhode Island Infantry Company D circa 1861-1862. Sorry they do not look the best but you can also see early war style coats but with also light blue trousers which I find fairly interesting but yes here are 2 pictures that I can currently find but I know there are more.
