In Response To: Cpt Hutchinson Engineer Corp ()

No actual history exists. For brief mentions, see Confederate Mobile by Art Bergeron. Capt Leverett Hutchinson's command included transfers from different units organized June 17, 1863, and assigned to the Department of the Gulf. The War Department designated Hutchinson's command Co "C", 2nd Confederate Engineer Regiment. Capt Hutchinson's command is usually mentioned and indexed in the OR under his last name.

Additional note --
'Corp' is a business abbreviation not used by the military. 'Corps', a term borrowed from the French, can refer to a branch of service; i.e., Marine Corps, Medical Corps, Engineer Corps. It can also refer to an organization of the army including two or more divisions. 'Corps' useage is the same, singular or plural.
