Neal...thanks so much...you are a gentleman and a scholar. I enjoy this board so much...you usually get a straight answer from someone with expertise without a lot of controversal remarks when a question or the answer is posted...individuals on other boards sometimes have a problem in accepting official documentation on various subjects without engaging in much opinated debate and deregotary remarks about either the Union or the Confederancy.

Thank again...I will research both sites.

I have seen graves of Confederate Vetrans with a cross in lieu of a regular grave marker given by the Daughters of Confederate Soldiers. Would this marker indicate that the soldier was placed on the Roll of Honor while they were on active duty?

I have only see two markers as I described above...and they we so rusty that it was impossible for me to read any of the engraving.
