Perhaps the unraveling effect might help explain the descriptions of 17th Century Highlanders, at for instance Killiekrankie, before battle disrobing themselves, leaving their breacan feile on the ground and fighting only in their shirts. That would be worth a re-enactment !

BTW, I am sorry to divert the topic to another era, but are there ACW re-enactment groups who depict the 54th Mass, Corps D’Afrique (USA and the CSA New Orleans version) or regiments of USCT ?
