New Orleans Greys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Orleans Greys were a Military volunteer unit of two militia companies (military unit) formed in the city of that name for service in the Texas War of Independence. Their name came from the grey military fatigues they wore. Greys fought and died at the Battle of the Alamo, Goliad Campaign, and seven Greys served at the Battle of San Jacinto.[1]
