Contributor’s Note: Some published reports (often based on the "memories" of the participants who returned home after the war) state that an individual was "killed in action" when in reality they had been wounded, perhaps mortally, or captured and died in a Federal Hospital. I have used the Compiled Service Records as my guide in which category to place the names in this listing. Even so, there are still discrepancies. David Godbold
