Patrick served as a Sergeant with the 28th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Company A (Civil War). He was a Veteran soldier. Patrick was recommended to receive the Medal of Honor for running after the Confederate flag bearer and capturing the flag at the Battle of Antietam. He spent eleven weeks as a prisoner of war.

Note: Just a note: McShea was sent from Andersonville to Millen probably on 11/11/1864. He would have then been sent to Savannah where it appears he was exchanged. My best guess is he was captured in June 1864 in the Battle for Atlanta. NB: I maintain a database of Millen POWs. Please contact me if you have any add'l info on Sgt McShea. Thank you.
