CW108 ‘The Confederate Cavalry Officer’

Wearing a ‘Canary Yellow’ kepi and brandishing his ‘Navy Colt’ revolver this officer is wearing a privately-purchased uniform set of ‘Confederate Grey’ shell jacket and yellow-striped riding breeches and long, over-the-knee black leather boots.

Many of the officers of the South’s cavalry regiments came from the local farming gentry and plantation owning community.
