Re: Outfitting of recruits at Camp Watts
They probably received clothing, because we often find receipts for clothing in camp of instruction files. Uniforms issued at Camp Watts would not have been too different from any of the uniforms worn by members of the 6th Alabama Regt. However, there would have been no practical reason to issue arms there. Firearms would not have been received until the recruit came to camp, and probably not for some days after he arrived.
