Help with civil war records -Benoni Wheeler

I have entered a profile for Benoni S. Wheeler, who served in the Union Army during the civil war, apparently at least in part as a commander of colored infantry; his grave marker has BENONI S. WHEELER, CAPTAIN, US CLD TROOPS CAPT CIVIL WAR.

There are pension records for him on FamilySearch.

Someone who knows more than me about the army in the Civil War and the records of the military for those who served in the union army may want to look at his profile, and complete his service units, add the appropriate stickers, etc..

I added the Find A Grave template and cemetery category.  I will look at the Military stuff and see if I can figure it out.

I found a headstone application over on Ancestry. Added the category for the 46th Colored Infantry, Company D.

Do you want me to put the image of the record in the profile or just the source?
Thanks. As for image of just source, whichever you think best.
