Yancy Irwin Posted March 1 Author Share #47 Posted March 1 My favorite find of the last year and a half-grouping to a CT officer from a prestigious CT family with a well documented civil war history.His older brother was a Sgt in the same regiment and died during the war-grouping consists of a photo,sword, artillery sash and 2 promotion documents. First Lt. Edward Charles Huxley (1843-1908), younger brother of Sgt. Matthew Huxley, entered the army as a private at age 18, and rapidly advanced to quartermaster sergeant, second lieutenant and first lieutenant. He eventually commanded Company L, composed entirely of recruits. As such, it did not have the same close-knit nature as the regiment’s earlier companies. Huxley and other company officers struggled to maintain morale as more than 90 of its number deserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
