Norman:

I would think that he was not, in fact, captured in Oct.

I think he was just missing after the battle, returned to his unit ill, and was sent to hospital in Richmond.

If he had been captured, there would be all sorts of Federal/US POW papers in his service record.

Just my opinion! -- Jim Huffman, Gainesville Vols
