Some of the ladies of the 79th once again draw fire from the photographers - we use 'em as diversions in flanking manouvers. Works every time. |

Sensing (or smelling) that Rebs are near, brevet Lt. Baxter marches the 79th out to help our RACW friends, keeping their eyes low to avoid tripping on dirt clods. Hey, any wonder why we didn't wear kilts here? |

The pipers of the 79th were about ready to hit the field, but then the daughter of the regiment showed up. Photo-op! Tea and cookies for all! |
