In Response To: Re: Camp Townsend ()

I don't know. There are no old timers to talk to. All I have is a copy of a letter.

The letter letter adds that he served in Company A, 1st Battalion, Florida Special Cavalry. I found this unit was also be called the following: Munnerlyn's Battalion, Cattle Battalion, Cow Cavalry, and Commissary Battalion. That web site does not list any action in the panhandle. That is the next puzzle.

The unit seems to have been organized in or around Tampa FL.
