George enlisted on August 24^th, 1861 and was captured at Antietam on September 17^th, 1862.  He was released on November 1^st, 1862 and mustered out on August 24^th, 1864.  The 19^th Mass. was heavily engaged at Antietam, in the West Wood, at Fredericksburg crossing the river in boats under fire and in the assault on Marye’s Heights, and at Gettysburg it was heavily engaged near the Copse of Trees capturing four Confederate flags. 

This tag was well worn throughout the Civil War.  Used but not abused.  It exhibits a fine, uncleaned patina.  This is the only 19^th Mass. I.D. we have ever owned.  The 19^th along with the 20^th Mass. were two of the Civil War’s greatest regiments.
