Confederate Army Manual
« on: March 16, 2018, 12:13:03 PM »
While it's not really miniatures related, I thought many readers might be interested in seeing a shot of my ancestor's Confederate Army Manual, that has come down to me through the years.

Lots of interesting facts like Hospital Stewards holding the same rank as Ordnance Sergeants!

More info and photos on my blog: https://therenaissancetroll.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/confederate-army-manual.html

What a cracking heirloom, maybe a dry read but a great piece of history. :)
