CONFEDERATE GEORGIA TROOPS

30th Regiment, Georgia Infantry

30th Infantry Regiment was assembled at Milledgeville, Georgia, in the fall of 1861. Many of its members were recruited in the counties of Butts, Bartow, Fayette, Clayton, and Chattahoochee. The unit served at Charleston and in February, 1863, had about 300 effectives. Later it was assigned to General Wilson's, C.H. Stevens', and H.R. Jackson's Brigade, and in September, 1863, was consolidated with the 29th Regiment. The unit took an active part in the operations of the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Atlanta, moved with Hood to Tennessee, and ended the war in North Carolina. In December, 1863, the 29th/30th totalled 341 men and 195 arms, but few surrendered in April, 1865. The field officers were Colonels David J. Bailey, James S. Boynton, and T.W. Mangham; Lieutenant Colonel Miles M. Tidwell; and Majors Henry Hendrick and Cicero A. Thorpe.

I knew that! LOL ;D I went to look up rifles after I posted but because the enfields were British made I didnt think we would use it on our emblems?

A lot of our troops were issued the Enfields instead of the '03 Springfields in WWI, even Sgt. York! JIM
