12th Kentucky Identified Southern Cross - Forrest
|
|
|
SOLD!!!
A really hard to find Southern Cross identified to B.H. Welch, Co. A, 12 Kentucky Cavalry. The 12th Kentucky was in General Nathan Bedford Forrest's command from 1863 until the end of the war. Welch joined Forrest's command in April, 1863. He was promoted to Lieutenant April 20, 1864. You don't have to wonder which regiment Welch belonged to because he had it engraved under his name on the bar of the cross. An identified Southern Cross with the regiment on the bar and in General Forrest's command! It doesn't get much better than this.

Very hard to find Wilder Brigade Reunion ribbon. This great ribbon was worn by members of the Wilder's Brigade at the 1920, Terre Haute, Ind. reunion on Sept. 19-20, 1920. The Wilder's Brigade was composed of the 17, 72 Indiana Infantry, and the 92, 98, and 123 Illinois Infantry. Wilder provided his men with Spenser rifles when the normal army doctrine was that repeating rifles were not practical. At the battle of Hoovers Gap, Tennessee his brigade proved how important the repeating rifles were. At Chickamauga, Wilder's Brigade was able to keep a level of fire on the Confederates that allowed the Union army to retreat to Chattanooga.
