Best Answer

John Lincoln Clem (August 13, 1851 - May 13, 1937), was a United States Army general who had served as a drummer boy in the Union Army in the American Civil War. He gained fame for his bravery on the battlefield, becoming the youngest noncommissioned officer in Army history. He retired from the Army in 1916, having attained the rank of major general and being the last veteran of the Civil War still on duty in the Armed Forces. Legen has it that he was a drummer boy at the Battle of Shiloh where he was knocked unconcious by an artillery shell. Thus he got the name "Johnny Shiloh". Disney made a movie about "his story" with the same name.
