Julius Franklin Howell joined the Confederate Army when he was 16. After surviving a few battles, Howell eventually found himself in a Union prison camp at Point Lookout, Maryland. In 1947, at the age of 101, Howell made a rare recording at the Library of Congress, in which he described his enlistment, sudden capture, and his experience in the Union prison camp on the morning of April 15th, 1865, the morning Abraham Lincoln died.

Soviet cadets… take a look at more of thardy’s collection of photographs of Russian/Soviet soldiers, some of them scream soft-core.
Brass buttons, box pleats, braid, cockades... sometimes all on the same outfit. You know what they always say, they just don't make them like they used to (no offence or disrespect to current service men and women around the world).
