Re: Praise for Color Bearer of 27th IL. in GA.

Good article Richard. Color Sergant Delaney was from Chapin Illinois in Morgan County. Chapin is a small village located a few miles north of Jacksonville. He was a Veteran. I am not sure if there is a palque or anything in his home town. Next time I am near there, I shall stop in to see. The village is just off the "Hard Road". The 27th saw a lot of action in its time. They were mustered out in 64 at Camp Butler. The remaining veterans and recruits were consolidated into the 9th Illinois I believe but don't quote me.
