20 September 2021

Thanks to Jose A Franco for this excellent photograph of Lieutenant, later Captain, William West of the 118th Pennsylvania Infantry.  He was with them at Shepherdstown/Boteler’s/Blackford’s Ford on 19 September 1862 and had a bullet rip open his coat in action there. He resigned his commission in January 1863 due to illness.
