- 15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate
15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate Tintype with Inset Forty Rounds Badge A painfully young early war volunteer from the call of 1862 wearing a regulation four button sack coat with cravat that is the off-to-war dress of a recent civilian. The anonymous private is accoutered with a US oval plate on a pristine just-issued leather belt holding a brass-hilted sword bayonet. Pinned vertically to the pillow of the case is an iconic post-war painted metal Forty Rounds badge suspended from a pressed eagle and stenciled American flag segment evidence that the young man survived the war and lived to associate with fellow veterans in the GAR. Sherman??Ts hard-scrabble bummers were busy ''marching to the sea'' in February 1865 when the iconic 15th Corps badge was formally adopted and there is no documented evidence that ?Forty Rounds? ever saw field service except as the contents of a fully loaded cartridge box. Condition: Varnished plate near EXC. with just average clarity. Glossy black cartridge box with slight bend on right flap and minor paint loss at edges; raised gold paint perfect. Fine cloth flag segment worn and frayed missing lower metal planchet. Tintype and badge housed in separated composition case missing front lower edge.

- Two CDVs of 95th New York National
Two CDVs of 95th New York National Guard Officer John D. Coughlin A military vignette ink signed John D. Coughlin/95th N.Y.N.G. with a civilian view of the same man both with penciled ?correspondent? on verso. Despite the name and embroidered ?95? infantry horn this officer??Ts identity remains a mystery. According to HDS and CWSS the only volunteer officer named ?John Coughlin? is the well documented lieutenant colonel of the 10th New Hampshire who won the CMOH. We presume that John Coughlin an aspiring soldier was apparently an otherwise unknown correspondent who was attached to the 95th New York National Guard. The NY National Guard organized in the later part of the Civil War was basically used as a ''home guard'' in the New York City area.

Carr found in the pocket marked "Charleston Jany 20 1864/Capt De Lagnel/Bot CD Carr & Co/To Making & Trimming Coat $200/" "& " Pants $30/$230/Recd Payment/C. Carr & Co". Note: Johnston De Lagnel was born in 1831 and enlisted in the Confederate army in 1861. He served as a captain in the 20th Virginia Artillery Battalion (De Lagnel's). In October 1861, De Lagnel was requested by General Magruder to go to Yorktown, Virginia to handle the heavy guns in the fortifications which he continued into 1862. In late 1863 he was at Fort Johnson in Charleston, South Carolina, was promoted to major in 1864, and died there on April 7, 1864 reportedly of pneumonia. His body was exhumed and brought to Alexandria, Virginia on November 24, 1865, and reburied at St. Paul's cemetery. The uniform was donated to the Valentine Museum by a descendant in 1962 and it is mentioned in a June 1945 newspaper article about a museum exhibition "One of these uniforms is apparently brand new, for it still has the tailor's bill in a pocket. It is an artillery captain's uniform, made for Major Johnston DeLagnel in Charleston, January 1864. He was killed the following April." It seems the missing buttons were stolen while the uniform was on display in 1961.
