ACWU04 - U.S. Marines (ACW)
The US Marines were only a small formation during the American Civil War, but they served throughout.
They fought in the maelstrom that was the Battle of 1st Bull Run 1861 alongside their Union Army comrades.
This is our unit deal to represent the US Marines. They wore regular Army Kepi and Frock coats. The difference is that their trousers were white, and their equipment straps were white. Two small details that were also different to the Army was the style of the NCO stripes, and that the Officers has Russian Knots on their shoulders not straps. The NCO stripes can be painted on the models (or not) but the tiny detail of the officer shoulder knots you can either ignore, or model them on using modelling putty.
Unit deal is made up of 24 figures in frock coats and kepis. The unit includes one officer, one drummer and two standard bearers.
We will also send you two US Marine flags printed by Flags of War. Flag poles are supplied.
28mm sized metal figures, supplied unpainted.
