BASIC EQUIPMENT OF A SOLDIER:
The Unit has complete researched information on where these items may be purchased, ordered or otherwise procured.
New members must obtain a detailed equipment list before any purchase of uniform or equipment are made specific to the regiment.
Just because a Sutler sells it...it does not mean it is an appropriate reproduction to our time period or unit. Buyers beware!
