Stan,
Does the Roster of Confederate Soldiers in Georgia roster list William E. Gilmer as a drummer boy of the 14th Georgia?
The reason I ask is because here is a similar example. Check this post: http://history-sites.com/mb/cw/gacwmb/index.cgi?noframes;read=5444
A check on the Soldiers and Sailors system fails to list this young drummer, from the same regiment, as well. Does anyone know what standards were used to enter the information into the S & S system?
