When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Scale 1:1)
The threads that turn these replica cartridges into pendants are a modification of the specifications contained in the Ordinance Manual For The Use Of The Officers Of The United States Army - Third Edition, 1862; the red represents the proportion of combatants who died during the course of the American Civil War of combat wounds, while the natural thread represents those who would have died from other causes - approximately two thirds - mostly due to diseases spread in the army camps.
