Please add appropriate military tags and categories to Civil War Veteran Philip Hubert. Thank you!

Question

I found a Civil War Veteran and would like his profile updated with categories, flags, badges or whatever to honor his service. Philip Hubert should be connected by tomorrow as he is an ancestor of a cousin of a step-cousin.

Answer 1

 I see only FAG and on the tombstone is inscribed 52nd NY Vols. Now I find the VA card:"United States, Veterans Administration Master Index, 1917-1940," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QRH5-K6T2 : 14 January 2019), Philip Hubert, 2 Sep 1864; citing Military Service, NARA microfilm publication 76193916 (St. Louis: National Archives and Records Administration, 1985), various roll numbers.  Says he was the drummer for Company E, though he does not show up in the book New York in the War of the Rebellion book. (some men were probably missed in this anyway).

Thank you very much! Seems this young man was just a teenager when he served as a Drummer boy in many important Civil War battles. He survived, married, had a family and passed away in 1910.
