    19th Virginia Infantry Company B: "The Albemarle Rifles"
















    The 19th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment
    raised in Virginia for service in the Confederate States Army during
    the American Civil War. It fought mostly with the Army of Northern
    Virginia.

    The 19th Virginia, organized at Manassas Junction, Virginia, in May,
    1861, contained men recruited at Charlottesville and in the counties
    of Albemarle, Nelson, and Amherst.

    It fought at First Manassas under General Cocke, then was assigned to
    General Pickett's, Garnett's, and Hunton's Brigade. The 19th
    participated in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from
    Williamsburg to Gettysburg except when it was with Longstreet at
    Suffolk. Later it served in North Carolina, returned to Virginia, and
    was active at Drewry's Bluff and Cold Harbor. Continuing the fight, it
    was engaged in the Petersburg siege north of the James River and the
    Appomattox Campaign.

    It reported 6 casualties at First Manassas and in April, 1862,
    totalled 650 effectives. The regiment had 138 casualties during the
    Seven Days' Battles and lost forty-two percent of the 150 in the
    Maryland Campaign and more than forty-five percent of the 328 engaged
    at Gettysburg. Many were captured at Sayler's Creek, and only 1
    officer and 29 men surrendered.

    The field officers were Colonels Philip St. George Cocke, Henry Gantt,
    Armistead T.M. Rust, and John B. Strange; Lieutenant Colonels John T.
    Ellis, Charles S. Peyton, and Bennett Taylor; and Majors Waller M.
    Boyd and William Watts.

    The 19th Virginia was clothed in the regulation Confederate Infantry garb;
    that is, a gray frock coat with light blue trim on the skirt of the coat,
    on the cuffs, and on the collar, light blue trousers, and a gray kepi
    with a light blue band.
    The light blue designated the wearer as an infantryman. The men of the
    19th were also issued
    brown leather accouterments: a brown leather cartridge box and strap
    and a brown
    leather belt with cap box. According to most records, the 19th
    Virginia leather goods
    varied throughout the war, often adopting black leather or anything
    at one time.
    In May, 1863, as the 19th's division was passing through Richmond, the
    19th and many
    of the regiments in the division received shell jackets. Shell
    jackets are like frock coats,
    only without the skirt end, and ends just below the waist.

    19th Virginia Company B is the Polish company for War of Rights.
    Company was created by veterans of Mount&Blade: Warband from many mods.
    We gladly invite every volunteer to join in only one condition: you
