Zack & Jim,

Thanks for the clarification and explanation about the trefoil.

In one chart I have, it shows the colors of the badges are red, white, and
blue for the First, Second and Third Division of a corps respectively.
Since Smyth was a member of the Third Division, Second Corps, does that mean
he would have been wearing a blue trefoil?  In the black and white
photograph, the badge actually looks white, but that may be because of the
way blue comes through in a B & W photo.
