Fresh Fish
photo by Janice Deifenthaller Company K of the Second Wisconsin Infantry Association held its "School for Fresh Fish" in Evansville on 4/26/03 at the home of John Diefenthaller. The event was held by Company K to provide its new recruits with instruction on the manual of arms, marching and other pertinent information for Civil War re-enacting. Much of the focus of the event was on safety and the proper techniques of firing while in formation. By the end of the day the new recruits had grasped the fundamentals of drilling and how to survive a re-enactment. The "Fresh Fish" enjoyed the comraderie and left looking forward to the unit's first event of the season. Those interested in Civil War re-enacting can contact the unit via e-mail at their web-site secondwi.com or contact Bob Mann, 262-821-1270 |

As Company Quartermaster I am
responsible for ordering items for the company and keeping track of
company owned equipment. I'd like anyone who has any
company purchased
equipment ( table's, chairs, wooden guns, clothes, etc.) please e-mail me
and let me know what you have so I can put a list together to keep track of
these items for the company. Thank you for the help in this matter.
