Description
Excavated Patriotic Identification Disc of Captured Pennsylvanian. Brass 1.25" ID token in good, dug condition stamped "B. W. McALEER/ Co. D/ 11th REGT/ P.R.C./ ALLEGHENY" with raised patriotic shield surrounded by "Against Rebellion/ 1861" on opposite side. Stamped lettering is light but piece retains much of original gilt finish and is in better than average condition for such an item. Bernard McAleer enlisted in the 11th Pa. Reserves in February 1862 and saw action at all the major engagements of the Army of the Potomac including the Seven Days, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. He was captured at Weldon Railroad on August 19, 1865, and, suffering from chronic diarrhea, later exchanged, dying in an army hospital on March 20, 1865. Complete with short service record.Auction Info
