Description
In all sizes and shapes from ages ten to eighty.
Captured 7/31/10, at the American Civil War Reenactment held at the vast and beautiful El Dorado Park in beautiful Long Beach, California.
Much better viewed full size.
Five pics out of a total of 30 I took of these troops lined up prior to battle. Some of the photos depict them undergoing inspection, plus a peek at some of the colorful Zouave soldiers, fierce fighters who fought on both sides in the War Between The States. More shots of them later.
Google Zouave for extensive info on these chaps.
Some of the troops shown don't appear to be taking this very seriously. Now, if this was the 1860s when real stuff was going on....
And I didn't realize it until I examined the pictures, but there are young girls dressed as soldiers standing alongside the males, and ready for battle. Some also served as stretcher bearers. I found the same among the Confederate troops.
Avoir, thankx for clicking on, and for any and all complimentary comments and favs.
