There were many female re-enactors, but with the exception of the nurse (seen below and mentioned in an earlier post) none of them were in military uniform. Rather they were either the wives of the leaders (e.g. Mrs. Washington; Mrs. Lincoln; Mrs. Grant etc.) or they were manning booths. Unfortunately I was too busy taking pictures to note down who was who.

Four World War I riflemen firing a volley. To their right a World War I nurse. There were other female re-enactors, but they general represented the wives of various dignitaries (e.g. Washington, Lincoln, Grant etc.) or they were manning (womening?) various displays. As far as I can tell this nurse was the only woman in uniform.

To her right we find two World War II soldiers.

I’m uncertain about the gentleman on the far right. At first I thought he was another World War II soldier, but looking again I wondering if the uniform is later – possibly Korea or Vietnam.

Below World War I soldiers on parade.
