Capt Paul Hamilton | Additional Description:
Asst. Adj. Genl. of this Command.
The noble and brave youth
who was slain and gave his life,
A sacrifice to his Country, was the
Most promising Young Officer,
That it has ever been my fortune
to meet.
He was but 20 years of age,
Had been in 80 Battles.
He was brave to a fault, always
Foremost in danger, in the path
Of duty. His gallantry was only
equaled ,by his modesty
And strict performance of every
Trust confided in him.
Signed Stephen D. Lee
Brig. Genl. Commg.
"Go Soldier to your glorious rest,
Your truth and valoring rearing;
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the Daring "
"So sleep the brave who sink to rest,
with all their country's best "
