I had very mixed emotions while transcribing. Growing excitement as I read the movements of the units; sadness realizing that there really is only one reason why GWE had this item for himself; a New York regiment? Wow. We could come very close (if not actually) pinpointing this soldier. There are certain days that I can put GWE and this unit in the same place. But GWE was not always with his official unit. The National Park Service http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.cfm has a system of Soldiers names. By finding the injured soldiers mentioned I could discover the owner...almost. There are blogs and sites devoted to each of the units. As always, it's a matter of time. Thank you Pat for the postDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712807540726512236noreply@blogger.com
