Cabin Boy John Angling, USN.
Born 1850 in Portland, Maine. Accredited to Maine G.O. No.59, 22 June 1865.
Served on board the USS Pontoosuc during the capture of Fort Fisher and Wilmington Dec. 24, 1864 to January 22, 1865. Carried out duties faithfully. Recommended for gallantry and cool courage under enemy fire.
Again, I see that like many other Medals of Honor, there are not a lot of specifics about his service.
High Honor. --Old B-R
