Period Clothing
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Although no uniforms
from the 60th Regiment have survived, we do have a
good description of the gear used by the troops
during this period. The following list itemizes the
clothing and gear, as well as the approximate
weight of each item.
This list of items is taken from Lt. Alexander
Baillie, a Grenadier officer in the 60th Regiment.
The accompanying illustration by artist Joe Lee
appears in the book "Redcoats, Yankees and Allies"
by Brenton C. Kemmer and is used by permission. Mr.
Kemmer's book is available from Heritage Books.
