Find-a-Grave strikes again and we see that despite Private Henry J. Bohl's serious wounds he survived and returned home to live a long and happy life until finally dying in 2010 at age 86.

About a month out from this great show! If you have never attended a major show as a table holder or just a looker, this is one to start with. Lots of great items for view and purchase. Knowledgable dealers and others for you to talk to. Use this as a chance to put a face to a name and build a network for future use. Also new this year will be:   Take Something / Leave Something or Free Will Donation Table   Everything on this table is available for trading an item for something or leave money in the donation box you think it is worth to you! This is open to everyone (dealers, non-dealers, attendees, etc).   People are asked to put things on the table that they no longer want to haul around or they want to get rid of. Anything is acceptable for placement here.    Any money donated for items will be put into the ASMIC general fund for future use.   If you attend, please stop by my tables and say Hi!

Still looking - but PA border medal is number 5947      Also PA border medal # 1161

This is a video showing how to set up a reproduction of Washington's field bed.     The key word here is "likely" nothing ties this bed to G. Washington,    "George Washington’s Military Trunk Bed Used During the Revolutionary War, 1775  February 29, 2024     1700s, celebrity & famous people, event & history, military, war    George Washington carried folding beds, tents, eating utensils, and other equipment to use while encamped on the field with his troops during the Revolutionary War. Washington likely used this bed when he traveled from his Newburgh, New York, headquarters in July 1783 –– as the war was winding down –– to tour upstate New York and the military installations located there.   Unlike the fancy field bedstead, this bed is more similar to a modern camping cot. Made with metal legs, the lid of the trunk was used as a headboard. This bed was highly transportable, all fitting into a trunk after use."

I went there last year. Right next to it is a redwood grove. Pretty cool. 

This is Washington's field bed at Mt. Vernon. Take the time to look at the construction in the detail photo's. I saw the link you got that pic from.   In October 1775, shortly after assuming command of the Continental Army, George Washington acquired "a Field Bedstead & Curtains, Mattresses, Blankets etc. etc." Designed for portability and durability, this bedstead's tapering posts, turned legs, and rails are ingeniously hinged so it can be folded into a compact bundle for easy transport. https://www.mountvernon.org/education/primary-source-collections/primary-source-collections/article/field-bedstead
