Hello All, I have seen a thread on the IL 17th previously but since it was old I decided to start a new one.

I am doing research on the IL 17th to possibly write a book about the subject and am just starting this process. I live in Galva and chose the 17th as they were the first regiment recruited from Galva.

Any tips and or little facts about the 17th would be appreciated. I will be adding questions later. Thanks.
