Re: Historian Brooks Simpson issues call to the SC

"Another distinction to the classification of a Confederate soldier was "volunteer" vs "conscript"; how is that handled by SCV? I don't believe it matters, they all served."

In my camp it doesn't matter. Service was service. And neither does the word "deserted", or "absent without leave", because so many of those notation were made in error. The genealogy is done usually at the Camp Level and what is submitted at that level is usually accepted at National Headquarters. National Headquarters doesn't usually have the time or manpower to double check all the details.
