Tintypes and ambrotypes of Civil War soldiers

The Library of Congress's Flickr collection includes 700+ high-res scans of ambrotype and tintype photos of US Civil War soldiers -- they're looking for help from the public with identification for many of the anonymous images: "These fascinating photographs represent the impact of the war, which involved many young enlisted men and the deaths of more than 600,000 soldiers. The photos feature details that enhance their interest, including horses, drums, muskets, rifles, revolvers, hats and caps, canteens, and a guitar. Among the rarest images are African Americans in uniform, sailors, a Lincoln campaign button, and portraits with families, women, and girls and boys."

Despite this, War Chieftains are more often seen guarding smaller outposts. They are commonly commanders of [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarabs]], and always perform tasks with a crew only featuring [[Jiralhanae]],''Halo 3'', [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] rather than being warlords of packs.

	War Chieftains should not be confused with the [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]], though the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae likely also holds the rank of War Chieftain. The Chieftain of the Jiralhanae is the leader of the entire Jiralhanae race, in service of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].

The Covenant would return to Harvest later in the year, and the battle for the planet, dubbed by the UNSC as the [[Harvest Campaign]], would last for the next five years.		*[[Second Battle of Harvest]].
