Three men with the surname Waddle enlisted in Co. B, 60th North Carolina on the same date. No doubt kin.

Unfortunately, there are only three cards in Green Waddle's service record file. No record of his death.
The remainder of the cards under his name are those of Jas. F. M. Waddle incorrectly commingled therein.
