"THE YOUNGEST ON RECORD
Comrade G. K. Crump, of Tunica, Miss., writes:
"I have seen several claims made as to the youngest
Confederate veteran, but I met recently one who,
at time of enlistment and amount of actual service
rendered, surpasses any record I have yet seen.
George S. Lamkin was born at Winona, Miss., November 3, 1850. He joined Stanford's Mississippi
Battery, at Grenada, Miss., on August 2, 1861, and
at Shiloh, before he was twelve years old, was badly wounded.
At Chickamauga he was wounded twice,once quite seriously. Mr. Lamkin was very tall for his age when he entered the service, and is now a man six feet and four inches tall. He lives at 880 Adams Street, Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Lamkin is of
a retiring disposition, and was averse to my mentioning this matter, but I think it should be known as a matter of history."
