Greetings

Duncan, Warren A.
1st Regiment South Carolina Artillery from Pickens, SC

I am looking for service information for a friend for his family member to know where he was when he was away serving in this unit.

nps.gov shows: 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment was organized during the fall of 1861 using the 1st South Carolina Artillery Battalion as its nucleus.
Thanks
Tommy

Sorry, I have no info on his individual service, but here's the itinerary for his unit. It will enlarge somewhat by clicking on it.

Do you have his CSR?
 
Here are his Fold3 records. It started out as the 1st S.C. Arty battalion. If you look on the 2nd page at the bottom you will see the progression of this unit.
