Linda, I have the same problem with an ancestor who completed a pension application and he listed that he was in the Crescent Regiment. Do you know of any sites on the web regarding the Crescent Regiment?

I have both applications and they are almost identical. The reason for being turned down (in 1915) is that Stephen Belgard can't be found on the Crescent Regiment of Louisiana Rolls and there are no rolls on file for the 6th Louisiana Field Battery (also known as West's Battery). He stated on both applications that there were the groups that his was with. I just feel so strongly that he was in the War....Linda >
