BLOOPER #1

Blooper #1- The fire was indeed cool-looking and we can't say we blame this soldier for wanting to snap a picture.The spectators were indeed very far away from this scene and doubtful that any could see him as his back was towards them. However, reenactors beware, there are always a few professional photographers hiding in the bushes with telephoto lens' that see all! :) Keep it real boys!
 
BLOOPER / FUNNY #2

Blooper/Funny #2- Humor on the Battlefield. It seems unlikely that there was much to laugh and grin about during an actual Civil War Battle while fellow comrades were being maimed and killed. The Captian did tell a good zinger though! :)

Blooper # 3 - This time the Cav gets a big chuckle out of something apparently involving one of the troopers' pistols? Would love to find out what it was. Send mailto:webmaster@civilwarillustrated.com if you can tell us-Thanks!

Blooper # 4- Dead men tell no tales but wounded men can still snap a few photos!

Blooper #5
Some Yanks have a good chuckle dragging off one of their own wounded or dead comrades. Doubt there would have been much to laugh about had it been a real battle. Let's keep up appearances at all times on the battlefield boys.
