Just found out my grandfather is listed as being a Star of the West medal recipient for 1898 at The Citadel, Charleston, SC - http://www.citadel.edu/main/about/campusguide/virtualtour/monuments.html My grandmother donated his uniform to The Citadel Museum before she died. I still have the dress uniform sword with his name etched in the blade and I have his class ring. He graduated in 1901, so the sword and ring are true antiques I guess! Laynie
