    Wasn't there an incident during the Revolution or perhaps the French and Indian wars where one side used a sprig of pine to ID friendly troops? A lot of our troops in Colonial times "wore what you brung"!
    Micah 6:8
    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    Very interesting!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    I gather just from the weaponry in the photos that this is equipment for British troops and other commonwealth troops.Robert

    Wish we had a Civil War example to compare to the modern kit. Somewhere in a book I have a quote from one of Stonewall Jackson's veterans who said "Old Jackson gave us a gum blanket (rubberized on one side), a musket and a hundred rounds. Then he drove us like hell."
