Now lets see how many really know about that battle. I’ve been there.

On the monument are the names of those slain there. Among that list is a man who was NOT killed there, in fact, when he saw the monument he complained to the park management and showed his serial number. He was with the 5th Cavalry.
The park manager had him write to Washington and the response was...He was shown to be killed at LBH so he will have to remain killed there.

Who was he?

My guess: a very young George Patton, back when he was a drummer boy.

(Okay, I know that’s not possible. But it would have made one heck of a story.)

Enlisted?
NCO?
Or Officer?
