Jim MartinI couldn't remember this name.Wed Feb 14 09:23:34 2001 Hi Homer,I was reading Ken Jones' posting yesterday and have accumulated another list of non-combatants and/or females listed in Broadfoot's Roster of Confederate Soldiers.I recall this special position, "Vivandiere" which was somewhat common in the Louisiana regiments and the Zouave organizations. For the life of me, I could not remember the name of this position.Thanks for posting this. Now I'll try doing a search using this term and see just how many of them I can find.JimVivandiere L C Lanphere, Fri Feb 16 09:01 How are these different than "Laundresses"? n/m Hayes Lowe, Fri Feb 16 10:57 Disregard this question. n/m Hayes Lowe, Fri Feb 16 11:04
