Talk:17th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment/@comment-2606:A000:1303:C105:3CA5:7008:9F2C:4C1B-20200127022408

Please note that the 17th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment, despite Don Troani's painting, did not actually use "mules" during their service. Several members obtained them on their own while foraging, but the regiment as a whole never used them.

Also the uniform of the regiment was identical to the 9th New York, Hawkins Zouaves, they did wear the standard Zouave Dark blue vest with red trimming; and the Red Hawkins Sash.

The source for most of the above information both in my comment, and on your page here, was actually partly from the Wikipedia entry that I had written on the 17th N.Y.V.V.
