stratasfan Posted August 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2021 Wondering if anyone can help ID anything from the uniform and insignia in this picture! Mom's working on a family history project about a family from Massachusetts. Here is the picture. Would love to know what that uniform and insignia is! :) Thanks! -Elizabeth Close-up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCapturephotos Posted August 11, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2021 Just wearing an “officers style” hunting horn and wreath for infantry and federal style eagle buttons. He sort of looks like a cadet to me. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted August 17, 2021 Share #5 Posted August 17, 2021 That's a very nice image. Do you know where in Massachusetts he lived? There are a couple of Henry L. Reeds on Fold3 who enlisted late in the war (1864 & 1865) that may be him after he left military school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
