OFFICERS OF 18TH LOUISIANA INFANTRY


OFFICERS OF 10TH LOUISIANA INFANTRY.
To promote the dissemination and con-
servation of Confederate War History we
publish the following list of officers OF the
Nineteenth Louisiana Regiment OF Infantry
and the muster roll of the Caddo Tentn,
Company G, of that regiment. 1t is not
claimed that either list is complete or en-
tirely accurate, but it is the best that our
friends and comrades, Capt.J. A. Harrison
and Lieutenant Ira B. Wall, could do under
the circumstances. As far as known, there
are only three members of the Caddo
Tenth now living-Capt. j. A. Harrison,
First Lieutenant Ira B. Wall and his brother,
Wesley w. Wall, of Clinton.
There were two companies from Bossler
Parish in the Nineteenth Regiment, and
the names and deeds of the patriots who
went to the front in 1875 in the faithful
discharge of their duty will. and of right
should, live in the hearts of their grateful
countrymen. But few of that noble band
who respondedsto::the call of duty, to fight
for homes and constitutional liberty, are
now living. Many of them sleep their last
sleep on the battleields of the South, from
Shiloh to Spanish Fort-by the murmuring
streams; in the shady valleys and on the
sunny hill-sides of our loved and lovely
Southland.
