May 1-2: INFANTRY DRILL WEEKEND W/ 55TH VA IN HAGUE, NY
From Lieutenant Smith
of the 2nd Mississippi:
For those that would like to attend it looks like no
expense has been spared. Breastworks with quaker guns have been constructed.
There's plenty of space for drill. Pork and beef BBQ cooked over open fire
provided for all. Plenty of shelter in case of rain. From what I understand
there will also be a fair amount of potential new recruits from the area
that have been invited to drop by and "check it out". There's even some
local horse soldiers who are planning to drop by with Robin of 1st Vt Cav
agreeing to do a presentation on what that would entail.
