> Does anybody know of a group in the Commonwealth, or perhaps even in the
US Army which maintains unit-histories/heritage of units?  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.
