I'm working with someone who's ancestor, Charles Gooch, was killed during the Battle of Rutherford's Farm in Virginia in 1864. He was a member of Co. K 14th WV Infantry. The descendant says that he remembers seeing a medal that was given out in his honor when he was younger. He used to take it to school for show and tell, so he knows it exists. He doesn't know where the medal is now, but he's wondering what kind of medal that might have been. I don't think it was a medal of honor. What other medals would have been given to soldiers during the Civil War? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
