  • Picture help

    I found this picture on the web and was hoping to get some extra pair of eyes to look at the details. I am interested in the 1st NYVE portion of it and have made my own observations. I have posted a link and you can zooming nice to look at it. Any help or comments would be much appreciated. thanks.

    Nathanial,

    I believe this photo was discussed here before, possibly under a thread discussing overalls/coveralls, I think engineer's overalls specifically. The main focus was the guy in the middle (facing right) with light coloured trousers (overalls ?)

    "I stood for a time and cried as freely as boys do when things hurt most; alone among the dead, then covered his face with an old coat I ran away, for I was alone passing dead men all about as I went". Pvt. Nathaniel C. Deane (age 16, Co D 21st Mass. Inf.) on the death of his friend Pvt. John D. Reynolds, May 31, 1864.
