We are taking all of the profiles out of War of 1812 Veterans and putting them in the War of 1812, "State" categories.
I wanted to let you know that I have been to this cemetery. I used to live near Ft. Stewart. Now I live about an hour away in Savannah.
It must have been quite a shock to come to that part of Georgia from England. It is very hot and always extremely humid.
Very nice profile!! I enjoyed reading it!
