behind AotW

Here are a pair of interesting documents from Ransom Warren‘s Compiled Service Records at the US National Archives. I got my copies online from fold3.

The first is the parole he signed with his mark in Sharpsburg after his wounding there on 17 September 1862 and subsequent capture by Federal troops. He was a Private in Company E of the 23rd Virginia Infantry.

And this is his Confederate certificate of disability which followed from the loss of his right arm to amputation.
