Hello Phil I have E.M. Ware's service record as well as a copy of the "non fighting" form he signed. Will send both to the list but in two different entries. Together they might be a bit long. The form signed is as follows: VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI, JULY 8th A. C. 1863 To all Whom it may Concern, Know Ye That: I, E.M. Ware, a Serg't of Co. H 3rd Reg't Missouri Inft. Vols. C.S.
