First, let's wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving. I know it is not a holiday and every country but in ours we sit around, eat and get fat -- lots of napping and TV watching.
Next I offer this picture. A long time ago Tony said something about a private with an officer portepee. Since then I started looking. There are a lot of these. What is everyone's opinion? Here is an example:
The way I read this uniform this guy is a lower ranking artillery dude -- -- look at that portepee. Look at the helmet. Does this not have a thin visor trim indicating that it was not issue? Look at the hair Bush. Does this not look wavy like Buffalo hair? Could these items be photographer props? My head hurts.
