Federal Memorial Tartan - Opposite of the Confederate Memorial Tartan

[David Thorpe]

Looks to me like it is to the sett, with the double yellow line omitted from the center-back. The pleats are symmetrical, and the overall effect is quite attractive (the kilt, not your derriere ).
I am sure that the kilt maker had a very good reason for pleating it this way. You could perhaps ask her?

Hurrah for the Union!

Nice Ron,
I think we have talked about this before but my GGreat Uncle rode with Early during the D.C. raid. His cavalry regt., was selected to cover the retreat and his company lead the way driving off the Union pursuit. He was however shot in the head and sent to Elmira NY POW camp where he died of fever. Its a small world!

Aye, brother against brother.

My GG Grandfather was defending one of the many forts around D.C. - forget which one, most are long gone now.

Fort Steven's, outside of Rockville MD?

136th Ohio Infantry. At Ft Ellsworth and Ft Williams. I can't find either. They did face Early.
