wow....
Union forces were led by Captain William P. Calloway, US Army. Confederate forces were commanded by Second Lieutenant John Swilling, CSA. It was a Union victory with only one man wounded, but the Rebels burned the hay intended for the California Column, which slowed their advance on Messilla. Private William Semilrogge recovered.
Private John Parr (1898 in Finchley - August 21, 1914) was the first British soldier and the first soldier of the Commonwealth killed in World War I. PRIVATE DUNCAN MCDONALD Camerons listed as missing[on medal index card] 13 August 1914 and is documented as killed in action 13 August 1914[CWGC and Soldiers died in the Great War] possibly died on boat to France,or actually went missing deliberately[he was 16 years old], killed by accident or the date is a mistake? The date is common throughout the reference data showing him killed in action 13 august 1914. He is on the Memorial to the missing at LA FERTE-SOUS-JOUARRE Seine-et-Marne, France also showing him to have been killed in action 13 August 1914 aged 16 The 1901 census confirms he was indeed just 16. Also I believe there was a Royal Flying Corps casualty before 21 August 1914
They slept on wooden beds but then if you were sick you were sent to another half that slept in tents only,and in the wooden beds there was nothing just the bed itself no matress, comforter, etc.
