Hampshire regiment regarded his own
performance when on May 18th, 1864

of Spottsylvania he picked UP the colors
of his regiment, both state and national,
after six men had been shot beneath
their folds and carried them through the
carnage OF the day. 1t was as a hero that

had another son of Manchester, John
