Andrew is marked with a Confederate flag. I believe that this is Corporal A.B. Ware of Company C, 58th Alabama Infantry. He enlisted in Jefferson County, Alabama in 1861. He was wounded severely in the leg at Chickamauga in 1863. His name appears on a roll of prisoners of war surrendered at Citronelle in 1865.
