My gggrandfather Marion Thomas served in the 23rd Arkansas Infantry. He enlisted as a private and was discharged as a private. He was captured in Louisianna and released. I was told they took his rifle and told him to go home. I would like his name added to the memorial honor roll. His name appears in the national archives box 000376 roll 0023 and record 00001464. I would appreciate anyone with additional information to contact me
Thank You, Joy Kegle

Joy, my great grandfather, James Jasper Pierce, was also in the 23rd Arkansas Infantry. They were in the seige of Port Hudson LA and were captured when the fort was surrendered. My great grandfather was also released the next day after the surrender and sent home. The battlefield is now has tours and a list of people who had relatives here during the Civil War.
