  • Support One thing I've always found interesting in these photographs is the difference in hygienic standards between the Civil war and the more recent fighting of the 20th century. Modern regulations mandate that everyone be clean shaven, yet in almost every picture I have ever seen from this time the ranking officers have sideburns, mustaches, beards, or some combination of the above.

    • I think it's honestly less of a hygiene thing nowadays and more a conformity issue. The army is not known for a love of expressing individuality nowadays... Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
