Recognize These Fellows?
Chris Marquez sent me a scan of an albumen photograph of fifteen Union infantrymen, most in the group are sergeants. On many of the forage caps can be seen the familiar cross-shaped badge of the Sixth Army Corps. The soldiers are gathered around a flag. In the distance is visible a group of cabins, perhaps winter quarters for these men.
Take a close up look at this large scan.
If you recognize any of these fellows, please contact Chris.

Ron,
I've compared the image to some made in the Sixth Corps camps at Petersburg, but it does not seem to match. It may have been taken in northern Virginia prior to the beginning of the Overland Campaign.
