Description A little deviation from my Space-setting.

Here a Confederate States of America soldier in high uniform and steel helmet.
The Confederate States fought the war alongside England and France from 1914 to the end in 1918.
Mainly in America, but with two contingents in France and M.E.

Here a soldier of Army of Northern Virginia in the last years of the war (probably from late days of '17 or early '18).
The bluse is in confederate gray. The color was officially adopted by the CSA for all its troops (not without protests and turbolences in 1866).
Pants were painted in officer blue, from the same pants used in Virginia Military Institute.
Head was covered by a M15 Adrian Helmet. Although the same model of the french one, it is probably produced by Tredegar Iron Works facilities in Richmond.

In battle, the soldier would be covered by a trench, and brought with him a shovel and backpack.
