re: #440 Alouette

About 16 years ago I did some research about a Jewish soldier who died there. I located his grave in a Philadelphia cemetery but National Park Service insisted that he was still buried at Andersonville. The Civil War equivalent of ZAKA came and recovered the remains for re-interment in a Jewish cemetery.

Cool. I can’t remember if there were any grave sites there when I was there, it was just a big square empty field with a little stream running in the middle.

The little park HQ had a card catalog where you could look up all the prisoners by name and see what became of them. One person there had my last name, I have no idea if he was a relative, he died.
