Here’s the top of a card for William C. Steele from his United States Mexican War Service Records, US National Archives (poke it to see the whole thing). Steele had later service as a Sergeant in the 4th Texas Infantry and was at Sharpsburg in September 1862. He lost a leg at Chickamauga, GA a year later, but went home to a farm in Grimes County.
