Right now this project just has one member, me. I am Christine Preston.
Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.
- Add veterans to the category for regiment
- add any casualties and where they passed
- add any and all resources that can be found
- add any special award recipients
- add any after war reunions among regiment companies
