Hi Marsha,
I would like to see those pics, but you may be able to tell them if they are
like this:
Do either of the caps or hats have the Co Letter, G or A? If one man is wearing a short
Waisted jacket with many buttons it is possible it is an Illinois state issue jacket wich
Would indicate the earlier 41st Ill. and the other is in a plain 4 button jacket it should be the
The later 115th regt. If it is not that easy to tell post again and I'll send you my e mail.
Both men are probably buried in the closest National Cemt to their death location.
I will check locations for those as well.
