In Response To: John Rials - MS 7th Infantry ()

Shawn, The following is his listing in our "Lest We Forget" 7th Mississippi Roster on the main roster as well as the Casualty Roster from Shiloh. Unfortunately we do not have any post military records on him. Please contact us so we can include you if we find any additional information on your relative. Definitely visit the 7th Mississipp website as my fellow 7th Miss. researcher, George Purvis, suggested.
