Civil War Judge Advocate/Provost Marshall (living history) (1)
This unit will work closely with surrounding re-enactments and re-enactmentunits. Our main focus will be that of being assistance to those of the EasternRe-enactors Association located in western New York, Gabriel's Legion located inwestern and central New York, 36th Virginia-Echoes Through Time Civil War Museum & Learning Center located in Williamsville New York.
We will be at the submission to the overall commander of those units in the venue that they are working. This unit is to be one of leadership, proper onduct and control. It shall mirror those of the Corps. Used during the war. In other word...s, a small group which can attach itself to other Provost Marshall units if need be. Headed by an overall commander of which in my past there is always a lacking of.Such commander as per many times during the way, the Asst or Judge AdvocateGeneral. This is title and not rank. Rules and Regulations dictate the rank. Being that this is regimental size, Capt or Major is quite high enough.As for equipment. Provost Marshall badge, manacles (handcuffs) and leg irons, of course would be nice but I do believe (handcuffs) will survive.During re-enactments and when the battle scenarios are on, many times instead of being a part of the battle we are used for crowd control and other necessities which may be required of us. Or one can join in the battle. For me, being disabled, this works.At this point it is a southern impersonation but I do hope to be able togalvanize in the future and see no problem.I am also currently working on obtaining necessary paperwork, passes, leave requests, orders etc. to add to the realism of what we intend to do.There is no unit association as to a number as of this time other than we will be with the Army of Northern Virginia. There is also no necessity for a member to be Cavalry, Infantry or whatever. Anyone can be a provost.Contact me at anytime via emai
