Hello,
If possible, could you tell me the exact spot of the Commadore's son's grave in Norfolk? The cemetery name, the plot and grave number or whatever if possible? I just read the great and touching book, "Last Flag Down". about the life of the last Confederate Raider to sail and attack Union vessels on the high seas; the CSS Shenandoah. The authors quote extensively from the log kept by Lt. Conway C. Whittle, Jr., the Executive Officer of the CSS Shenandoah. I was touched by Lt. Whittle's loyalty and faith in God and the Southern Cause, his family and country, etc, how he gave his all to it, and how he cried at the end in late 1865 in Liverpool, England as they lowered and furled the flag of the Shenandoah for the last time. I would like to visit his grave one day and pay my respects. And as an old soldier myself, not to mention an old reenactor, salute the Lieutenant one last time.
Thanks,
David Edelen
