Augustus Kelsey was one of my ancestors, so it is good to learn what battle he had been captured in. I know that he was released, and that he returned to the war. He was issued a new uniform which saw very little action, except for when he wore it at GAR meetings. About two years ago, Augustus Kelsey's uniform, gun and GAR pin was for sale over the Internet, but way too expensive for the Kelsey family to purchase.
