Hello Hoyt, I'm saddened by your current dilemma. My thoughts and prayers are with you sir.
The original post however was about enlisted soldiers in the War of 1812 who also fought for the South during the WBTS as enlisted soldiers. No doubt there were a great amount who had fought in the Mexican War. 1846-1848.
Again a great loss for all of us on this board and may your days be blessed.
