My great grandfather was Pvt. E. C. Jackson. E. is for Evans. Some records show him as Ivins. He served in Company C of the 24th Ga.Infantry.
During the Autumn of 1864 his records indicate he was hospitalized in Richmond with an injury. It appears he may have been at Wayside Hospital first then a disposition to Jackson Hospital . His service card entry from Jackson Hospital lists the "disease" as V.S.L. hand M. B. Past research has led me to believe this to mean an injury to the left hand from a minie ball. Someone please advise if that is incorrect. Pvt. Jackson was admitted Oct. 7, 1864 and returned to duty Oct. 26, 1864.
A few weeks later Nov. 21 & 22 a medical card shows him being at Wayside Hospital. It shows disposition as being Jackson Hospital. In the remarks section the letters. C.S.B. appear. On the next line below there is a singular S. There is no corresponding card from Jackson Hospital for this time frame.
Any thoughts on the meaning of those letters in the remarks section ?
