I believe that this focus on unit heritage has not been a very big deal in the US, as contrasted with Canada and the UK. > > In any case, I am particularly interested in finding out if there is any 'string' connecting the 28th Virginia Regiment of the Civil War and Co. A of the 116th Infantry VaNG from Bedford at the beginning of WWII. I understand that both units drew from men in the Bedford area. > > Randy Cabell > Boyce, Virginia > > To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions > at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
