Irish69 Posted December 19, 2015 Share #14 Posted December 19, 2015 James Heywood it would appear was an enlisted man Co. B of the 9th. Two of the patches large bugle 9th & eagle were probably off an officers Hardee hat, the smaller bugle 9th off an officers kepi. The patches, hat cord, shoulder strap etc. could have been acquired from his company officer as part of a G.A.R. Hall display after the war. What's really sweet about the group is how Heywood displayed everything on the backing piece there attached to (-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double canister Posted December 19, 2015 Share #15 Posted December 19, 2015 The overused word "amazing" truly applies to this grouping. American author Ambrose Bierce served with the 9th Indiana. Many of you remember reading "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "One of the Missing" during your school days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
