Andy, Good stuff. I’m a fan of subdued Officer rank especially in late war Officer impressions in the community. Quality subdued rank can be difficult to find. Looking forward to more on insignia on CWDD.
One afternoon when I was a teenager my Uncle Tom listed the ranks of the British Army complete with Insignia from Lance Corporal to Field Marshall, with the help of my Dad and another Uncle. All three of them were pleased anyone was interested but it certainly was something they remembered. In the British Army there's a lot of Heraldry for every units. Cap Badges, Buttons, mottos, colours and facings, as well as unique Regimental marches and commemorative days for specific actions the Regiment took part in. My Dad had been in the signals attached to several Regiments and could reel off quite a few. I guess there's a few hundred hours you could do about Civil War Units and I'd expect a lot of people would enjoy it. Accepted it something that's fairly easy to research but I'd expect some Regimental Historians could really go beyond books and the internet to provide some unique knowledge.
Very informative! I have been curious about Civil War officer ranks since I was a child. A few years ago I came across the book "Straps - The Evolution of United States Army Shoulder Straps" by Dr. Howard G. Lanham. This book covers in 200 pages of detail shoulder straps if anyone wanted to to educate themselves further. I found the time you discussing ranks removed from the shoulder strap but worn on the shoulder as technology improved and officers became targeted to be particularly interesting!
Navy and Marine officer insignia are interesting during this time period too. The Marines utilizing shoulder knots and then incorporaring shoulder boards for their field grade officers later in the war.
I ❤️ this channel so much! A treasure trove of information, applicable to both sides I'm sure. Can you please have some episodes focusing on the Confederates too? ❤️ Joanne from Singapore 😊🇸🇬
We certainly understand that. Yes, we are working in a mess hall that soldiers during the Civil War eight at 160 years ago. It is a fair trade, although we certainly have challenges there on the audio side!
Thank you; this clarifies something about which I had a question for a current painting project.
Glad we could help! Reach out to us when your painting project is done. We would love to see it.

Interesting video. You should either film elsewhere or place some things out of sight to absorb the echo. Your sound will vastly improve. Cheers
