Question One: Would love to know which type of clothing he received – from Richmond depot or from any western depot issues when he was at Camp Lee in Richmond?
Question Two: I am trying to find out where and when he was shot in the North Georgia Campaign? I am guessing he was wounded at the Battle of Kolb’s Farm on June 22, 1864. Is there a way to find out?
Question Three: Also would like to know if he made it to the ill-fated Hood campaign in Tennessee and whether he went to North Carolina too?
Leonard H. Bullock evidently lived in east Alabama along the Georgia line. He first enlisted in Co. "A', 7th Alabama Regiment, the "LaFayette Guards", which served along Pensacola Bay for the better part of 1861. After the
twelve-month enlistments of this regiment expired, Bullock enlisted in Co. "G", 46th Alabama Regiment, which was mainly recruited in Randolph County AL.
Leonard H. Bullock enlisted with the 46th Ala Inf in Randolph County on May 14, 1862 by Capt. J. M, Handley in Co. G. Mustered into service at Loachapoka on May 15, 1862.
Leonard was captured at Bakers Creek May 16, 1863 and was shipped to Fort Delaware. The Delaware Society database provided by Hugh Simmons contains an entry for Corporal Leonard H. BULLOCK, Company G, 46th Alabama Infantry showing that he was captured at Champion Hill, Mississippi on 17 MAY 1863 and forwarded through Camp Morton, Indiana to Fort Delaware. He arrived at Fort Delaware on 9 JUN 1863 and remained there approximately three weeks. The Dix-Hill Cartel (general exchange agreement) was nearing collapse, but a final shipment of able bodied POWs was paroled for exchange at Fort Delaware on 3 JUL 1863 and delivered to Confederate authorities on 6 JUL 1863 at City Point (modern day Hopewell) in Virginia. Leonard BULLOCK was among these fortunate prisoners of war. His CMSR contains additional confirming information. He was shown as 'present' with a detachment of paroled prisoners from the 46th Alabama Infantry in Camp Lee near Richmond, Virginia on 19 JUL 1863 and he was given a clothing issue at Camp Lee on 3 AUG 1863. His status was still noted to be that of a paroled prisoner of war.

The 46th Alabama Infantry was part of the Tracy/Lee Brigade in Major General Carter L. Stevenson's Division which was heavily engaged at Champion Hill (Baker's Creek in Confederate records) on 16 MAY 1863. This is likely to have been his actual capture date with the 17th being the date the Federals made a record of his presence in their POW holding area. The remnants of the 46th Alabama Infantry were surrendered at Vicksburg on 4 JUL 1863 and the men released on parole 11 JUL 1863. They were to report to a parole camp at Enterprise, Mississippi, but most of the men by-passed this camp and went home for a well-deserved rest. According to the correspondence in OR, Series II, Volume 4, the officers and men of Stevenson's division who reported into parole camp at Demopolis, Alabama for the purpose of returning to duty were declared exchanged in 12 SEP 1863.
Unit histories show that the 46th Alabama was re-organized at Demopolis and was active in the Chattanooga Campaign of late 1863. Leonard Bullock also appears on a Register of Floyd House and Ocmuglee Hospital, Macon, Georgia: admitted November 29, 1863 with chronic diarrhea from the late ill-fated Chattanooga Campaign. He evidently returned to his unit at the winters quarters in Dalton, Georgia.
Bullock's service record shows that he was treated for wounds at a Selma hospital, July 11, 1864 to Aug. 17, 1864. According to Hospital Register record roll as compiled by George Brewer in 1866 he was admitted July 11, 1864 for "vulnus sclopeticum" which was a gun shot wound to his leg.
