Hi to all,
l read somewhere that medals were not awarded in the Confederate army as General Lee
did not wish to discriminate within the army ranks as to him they the army officers & inlisted
men were all heroes. The highest honour one could achieve in the Confederate army was to
be favourably mentioned in despatches. ls it true that JS Mosby was mentioned favourably
more times in Confederate despatches than any other officer or inlisted man? Please your
thoughts are welcome.
Thanks.............................Jess .
