Final Statement
I Certify That Thomas C. Dayle of Captain James Powell’s Company "C" of the 27 Regiment of U.S. Infantry, born in Galway, in the state of Ireland aged 22 years, Five feet 3½ inches high, fair complexion, grey eyes, brown hair, and by profession a Laborer, was enlisted by Lieut Wilson at N. York on the thirteenth day of March, eighteen hundred and Sixty six, to serve for three years, and was killed in an Engagement with by Indians near Piney Island, August 2, 1867
When the remains from Fort Phil Kearney arrived in 1905 at Custer Battlefield National Cemetery for reburial the cemetery register listed 97 “Unknown US Soldiers,” and 9 named. Thomas Dayle is most likely one of the unknown reburials.
