Re: CS Rank Insignia Colors
Generally speaking the Confederate army tried to follow US regualations but North Carolina and Texas was a little bit different especially when it came to their infantry. For some reason both states had black trim on the infantry. The First NC Cav early in the war only had a little bit of yellow trim on their empulates (sp?) and the First VA in some of their companies had black trim on their jackets and pants. The Hampton Legion also had a mixed bag in uniforms. Some of the companies had light trim and others had a dark blue or black trim. Company E - Bozeman Guards may have had a white trim down the legs of their blue pants.
I think I also read in the "Covered with Glory" that the 26th NC Inf all had new uniforms that were trimed in black - from their hats to their pants. :lol:
