Wrap up warm for the Remembrance Day Parade, this Saturday, November 23rd. It starts at 1:00pm from LeFever Street and follow the traditional route to Liberty Street, turning left onto Middle Street, left again onto Baltimore, and finally onto Steinwehr Avenue. The parade will end at the Gettysburg National Military Park. It's a fun parade, hope to see you there.

Vivandieres
I don't know much about Vivandieres. One thing I would like to know is the age of the ladies. I know a soldier had to be over 18 years of ages before joining the military, but sometimes they would get in without being that old. I don't know if Vivandieres ever were found doing the same things or not. Here are some pics of Vivandieres.
This looks like a young girl!
Were Vivandieres also musician?
I like the white pants
These photos look like a series, maybe a play.
Love this one
I like this hat...
with these colors.
I like this skirt
I think this is a later photograph
Here is an Oval Keg like the Vivandiere carried
Love the garters though I would rather they were a different color!
I don't know if I like the blue coat...
or the red coat better
