    1. [CW-POW-L] Lt. John Alva Oates
    2. Hello All I have just joined this group and I am seeking information on Lt. John A. Oates Company G 15th Alabama Infantry. He was mortally wounded at Little Round Top and taken to II Division V Corps hospital, how could I obtain these records. I have written Carlayle Barracks and they suggest I write the Museum of the Confederacy. According to Wartime accounts he was buried in an field adjacent to the hospital. Also Col. William M. Hardwick was a POW at Johnson Island, Point Lookout, and Horseshoe Bend Alabama. Where can I find records on him. He enlisted first in Co. H 7th Alabama and when it disbanded in 1862 he enlisted in Co. H 48th Ala. He was a member of the 48th Alabama when he was captured and sent to Johnson Island, and Point Lookout. He escaped from Johnson Island and was exchanged at Point Look out. He held the rank of Lt. Colonel in the 48th Ala when on furlough he was captured and sent to Horseshoe bend Ala. How could I find these records. Thank you Jacob L. Bateman III
