Hello All - We recently received an ancestor's service records. In the notes for roll call, it says that he was detached to Brigade Headquarters, as abbreviated in the subject line for this email (I assume that's what it means?) What does that mean exactly? What would he be doing in this capacity? He had spent a couple months the previous year as a nurse following a battle. Would either or both of these mean he was injured, enough so he could perform helpful duties, but not enough to be sent home? His pension papers are at the Veteran's Administration rather than the National Archives--why would this be? James K. Barnett 10th W. Va. Infantry Thanks, Debbie in Ohio _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
