I'm not sure what purpose you had in posting the RW Officers' list. Did you want us to identify individuals as coming from certain counties or regions? >From the subject line, it would seem that the list contains Caswell County residents, but it doesn't specify which officers are from Caswell Co. -- or did you want us to help sort them? I realize your post is a "forward" from another's post, but it's difficult to understand whether the indentations are intentional; i.e., > > > > > > > > Lt Peter Baker > > Lt Patrick Rogers > > > > 2nd Lt Dixon Marshall > > 2nd Lt John Rice > > > > > > > > Lt Wm Berryhill A clarification from you would be appreciated.
