Kansas Raider Posted November 30, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2019 Here are some regimental reunion ribbons. Kansas regimental ribbons are pretty hard to find. I have been collection Kansas GAR for several years. This ribbon is in poor shape for the 1st Kansas Inf for 21st anniversary of the battle of Wilson Creek. The ribbon is dated 1882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted December 1, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 1, 2019 Super duper badges! I presume the Department Commander badge is gold? It is also interesting that the Sixth Kansas had reunions in Missouri and Indian Territory. I love 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championhilz Posted December 1, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 1, 2019 I have several G.A.R. photographs of veterans who settled in Kansas after the war. This CDV is of Horatio Tawney, who was a corporal in Company C, 100th Ohio Infantry. He was captured at Limestone Station, Tennessee, in September 1863, and spent 6 months in Libby and Belle Isle prisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas Raider Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted December 2, 2019 here is a picture of members of Jewell post 3 in Pleasanton, Kansas. It is about 1 mile north of the Battle of Mine Creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted December 2, 2019 Share #12 Posted December 2, 2019 These boys are certainly well equipped for their postwar photograph. I seldom see fully armed GAR pictures and this is a nice one. I wonder if these men are an honor guard for funerals and such like? They appear to have flowers in their coat pockets... perhaps for a veteran funeral or decoration day?

KevinBeyer Posted December 4, 2019 Share #23 Posted December 4, 2019 That is a great collection of National Encampment Badges. When I first started collecting a wise, older Civil War collector encouraged me to collect G.A.R. 34th National Encampment badges. Collecting badges, ribbons, pins, and other ephemera from that reunion has been fun, interesting, frustrating, and enjoyable. I hope you find that your Kansas collection is equally enjoyable. Once again, thanks for sharing. You have some badges the likes of which I have never seen before and they are great! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
