Self Hibernation Campaign - Summer 1861 - more Units of Note

So on the eve of our first Campaign Battle this report finds time to highlight more of the interesting units that have taken the field for their respective causes.

For the southern cause a Brigade of Virginia Infantry have taken the field, whilst their uniforms are largely regulation, these two regiments are have some uniqueness.

20th Virginia Infantry
The 20th Virginia, AKA Heck's Regiment, wear regulation uniforms with grey jackets and sky blue trousers but they all wear butternut kepis.
25th Virginia

The 25th Virginia, all wear grey frock coats, piped and faced in sky blue, with grey trousers and black slouch hats.

These boys are defending their home state and are sure to put up one 'Heck' of a fight! Especially as they've heard about the brigade of 'Snob Nosed Yanks' that are in the lines, somewhere opposite them.
