| 説明 | Co. H, 13th W. VA. InfantryLittle bit of a mystery about this gentleman. I found the following dispatch about John H. Duke from R. B. Hayes who would later be a President of the United States:HEADQUARTERS SECOND INFANTRY DIVISION,ARMY OF WEST VIRGINIA,Harrisonburg, Va., September 30, 1864.Capt. P. G. Bier, Assistant Adjutant-General: CAPTAIN: I have the honor to forward the following list of non-commissioned officers and privates who have been reported to me as having particularly distinguished themselves during the late engagements: Sergt. Maj. Albert B. Logan, Twenty-third Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for gallant and meritorious conduct in capturing a piece of artillery in fortifications at Winchester, September 19, 1864, he being the first man to reach the gun. Corpl. John H. Duke, color bearer Thirteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, as being the first in the second line of fortifications at Fisher’s Hill, September 22, mounting a cannon and waving his colors in encouragement. Sergt. Vincent Hayes, Company E, Thirteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, was wounded in capturing a color. First Sergt. Allen Burnett, Company B, Fourteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, captured one caisson at Fisher’s Hill, September 22, 1864. First Sergt. James B. Foyle, Company I, Fourteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, captured one piece of artillery at Fisher’s Hill, September 22. Corpl. Thomas H. Parker, Company K, Fourteenth Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, captured one piece of artillery, two horses, and five prisoners at Fisher’s Hill, September 22, 1864. Private James S. Hall, Company I, Ninety-first Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, demanded the surrender of nine armed men; they immediately surrendered and gave up their arms to him alone. Private George W. Kemper, Company B, and Private Henry Dillenger, Company K, Ninety-first Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, as two of six men who captured fifty-seven prisoners at Fisher’s Hill, September 22. The commanding officers of the Ninth and Fifth Virginia and Thirty-sixth and Thirty-fourth Ohio did not choose to discriminate where the conduct of all was so praiseworthy. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. B. HAYES, Colonel, Commanding. Is this the same gentleman? If so why is his date of death on this tombstone 1863? The Thirteenth West Virginia fought on the east coast. How did he end up buried in Kansas? |
