Hi, I am doing a report on civil war drummer boys. I have reserched a lot and have found that during the civil war drummer boys sometimes didn't even have uniforms. Some wore what ever they had. Others, wore left over uniforms that usually did not fit. If you have any questions i would be glad to answer them! For other boys it depended on the side they were fighting for.

The drum was made out of wood, and the drum head was made from animal hide, tied down by rope made from horse hair.
Women were affected by the English Civil War because they had to become war widows. They also used to do their husband's work, eg farming & business whilst their husband's were at war. They used to do demonstrations and petition to stop the war. Children were affected by the English Civil War because they were upset by the shooting and lots of people around them dying. Boys over the age of 15 could fight. If they were younger they were served as drummer or bugle boys. They usually died as they were at the front of the army. Boys used to lie about their name and age so that they could fight in the war.
There are no US Civil War Veterans alive today. The War ended 150 years ago.

Civil war drummer boys were very important. They sent signals with their drums. With out the drummer boys the soldiers would have a harder time figuring out what a higher ranked officer needed them to do? Anything else you need? -A
