Thank you, Chip. I must admit I cringed when I read the extent of the injuries of these men. As you said, their wounds were critical/severe. I will follow your lead and begin coming up with my own list of SS Crescent passengers. George has collected some names through his research already. Perhaps we can find others. Like yourself, george uses individual soldier's records, letter, obis, etc to prove when and when.
Also, I'll look up the exact number of the NARA film for you. I bought a copy of the film mainly because I have so few proofs of my ggreat grandfather's service, aside from his muster record. I feel close to him when I touch his name on the screen. I can look at the film again to see what is recorded about your Alabama men. I'm away from home, presently, but will see what I can find once back in Cape Cod.
