Original – Brevet Major General George Armstrong Custer in field uniform, reflect his then brevet rank of Major General.
Reason
Here we have a famous/infamous man in United States History: George Armstrong Custer, Lt. Col, U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment. While his service with the 7th Cavalry Regiment is what cemented his place in history (to the misfortune of both him and his men I am sure), his military career is a noteworthy one spanning both the U.S. Civil War and the Indian Wars. This image of Custer, taken in April 1865, shows the cavalry commander adorned is his Union Officers Uniform, which reflects his then brevetted rank of Major General, which he held for most of the Civil War.
