Tom Custer was a Sgt in a Michigan Regiment when the picture was taken

Sorry, I know this is some serious thread necromancy but I'd like to chime in that the 1st Lieutenant (officer on the right) is my ancestor John McDonald. He was Company K's First Sergeant at the start of the war, served with the company throughout the war except for a brief period in Washington recovering from wounds, and would retire from those wounds in 1868 as a Captain.

No problem, good information to go with the picture is always welcome. Ted

I found it interesting when this thread popped back up. It was the first one I started when I joined up. Thanks to all who have taken the time to view it. Ted
