re: #149 Tigger2005

I think there were a few Civil War vets still around during WW2 and a bit beyond. I believe one of the last CW vets died in the mid-1950’s. He was probably 16 or 17 or so at the end of the war.

Actually I think it was around 15, but I could be wrong. There were enough of them still alive to constitute effective chapters of the Grand Army of the Republic veterans organization into the 1920’s.
