Details:
Memphis National Cemetery was established in 1868 and many soldiers were moved from battlefield cemeteries to Memphis National. Many of these battlefield memorials from the war years were marked with wood markers or other methods that did not survive until the time of their re-interment. In these cases the new burial is appropriately marked with an unkonwn soldier headstone. There are over 7000 of these burials in this cemetery.
While he is possibly buried in this cemetery, he is not listed on the VA Gravelocator.
There is no way of knowing which headstone is his, so there is no way of fulfilling this photo request.
