I am not in the habit of recommending commercial sites, but this one presents lots of useful
information for the reenactor community. Also might offer some information to the causual
researcher, genealogist or historian as well. I think it is nicely done, and deserves a special
category.
Note: I have never had a commercial transaction with this company and do not know their
reputation. (But I assume it is good).
