Trev, Did the GAR have a distinctive insignia? I have seen something that resembles two cocks facing each other on a picture, and I just wondered if you or anyone had ever seen anything like this. As a Texan with most ancestors fighting for the South, I am unversed in all things Northern! My IL ancestor was only in the Union Army for six weeks and never even mentioned that when he moved to TX, even though his older brother died of disease in the Memphis area while in that same Union Army.
