RARE CIVIL WAR SOLDIER - FULL PLATE TINTYPE 6 1/2 X 8 1/2 INCHES - hand colored! We do not know his name but his uniform tells us this is a member of the Invalid Corps..... That was renamed later in the Civil War as the Veteran Reserve Corps. The Invalid Corps was created by US WAR DEPARTMENT GENERAL ORDER #105 April 28, 1863. Its original assigned uniform was that it should be somewhat different from the mainstream US Union soldiers....

Originally the entire uniform was to be " sky blue" with dark blue trimmings. " The collar and cuffs were to be of " dark blue velvet. " Due to various issues soldiers had with this uniform - it wasnt long before soldiers were "tweeking / fudging on the exact nature of their Invalid Corp uniforms - so this would be a circa 1863 tintype photograph. The name was changed to the Veteran Reserve Corps with GENERAL ORDER #111 on March 18, 1864.
