In July 2 I wrote about the newly acquired "Bloody Shirt" of Henry Mills of the 7th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. He used it to staunch the flow of blood from a wound he received at the Battle of Nashville in December 1864.
I am going to be doing some more research on this event.
From Wikipedia. The Union Order of Battle for the Battle of Nashville.
The 7th Minnesota was part of a detachment serving there from the Army of the Tennessee under Major general Andrew J. Smith.
They were in:
FIRST DIVISION under Brig. Gen. John McArthur
THIRD BRIGADE under Col. Sylvester G. Hill (killed), then Col. William R. Marshall.
12th Iowa-- Lt.C. John H. Stibbs
35th Iowa-- Major William Dill, Capt. Abraham N. Snyder
7th Minnesota-- Col. William R. Marshall, then Lt.C. George Bradley (Marshall took command of the Third Brigade after the death of Col. Sylvester G. Hill.
33rd Missouri-- William H. Heath
Battery I, 2nd Missouri Light Artillery-- Capt. Stephen H. Julian
--Old Secesh
