Military court CDV, 28th Ohio, 14th Pa., 2, 3, & 8th WV

Pretty incredible image. I also saw that the gruesome CDV of the deserter executed by firing squad was up for sale in that auction. It originally sold at Cowan's in 2010.
 
I know West Virginia near the end was having some leadership issues like officers not having troops where they were supposed to be and troops falling out of ranks.
HDQRS. ELEVENTH WEST VIRGINIA INFANTRY VOLS.,


Cedar Creek, Va., October 25,1864.
Google that If interested I didn't see a link. FYI Lt William Walker Curtis my ancestor was KIA a month earlier so not his fault lol
