I don’t know who the officer is but the photo was taken at a Vicksburg Arms after match function. It was awesome :mrgreen:

Love the image of the young Reb soldier in the backdrop jumping into the Butternut dye pool to color his uniform. Always wondered how they got their uniforms that color. :)

Aaahh, I remember him. That's old Confederate General Jenkins. We've captured him and his boys about three times during battle. We always release him back to the Rebs as him and his boys are pretty harmless.

Just goes to show, those Rebs will draft or recruit just about anyone to fill the ranks. ;)

*Sigh* Sadly, you're right, General. I think this just might call for another round. May I fill up your glass, sir?

Major Campbell, sir. <salute>

You forgot to widen the photo showing the banner on Gen. Jenkins horse showing the slogan..... "Davis 1864! - MSGA" (MSGA = Make the South Great Again!) This must be a photo from one of Davis's election rallies. They also give out free red hats with MSGA logo to rally members too. :lol:

My bad, sir. Oddly enough, there were no sour apple trees in the vicinity either. 8)

The guy in the photo is not a Confederate Officer, it is BillY Bob Bingle, a SPMWL (Southern Professional Mud Wrestling League) fighter. Never been that good, always complaining about dirty opponents.
