Larry Hudson of the 79th Highlanders drills his new recruits with wooden toy rifles during Saturday’s Union Occupation of the Arsenal on Craven St. Just like adult recruits, little Yara Austin, far right, seems to be having a difficult time remembering her left from her right. Yara is an “Ice Angel” with the 79th’s medical corps and tours with her mother “Pvt.” Jenelle Austin. Photos by Bob Sofaly.
