Summary[edit]

Description
English: Two African-American Union Army infantrymen taking aim outside a ruined building in Dutch Gap, Virginia. Restored, retouched and colourised. The soldier to the left wears his forage cap with chinstrap in place and is holding a Springfield rifle musket with attached bayonet. He is wearing a cartridge box with sling, bayonet scabbard, and waist belt, but is not carrying a canteen or haversack. A cap pouch is not visible. There is a tear in his four-button fatigue blouse. The kneeling soldier to the right is holding a British Enfield rifle musket and has similar equipment as his comrade, but this soldier has his cap pouch behind his bayonet scabbard.
