Fellow Sharpshooters.
An interesting inquiry from Johan Steele (MN) from this past Memorial Day observances. One of the soldiers his veterans organization paid tribute to was Robert W. Helms; of the Long Island Co. 'H'; 1st USSS. There is a response by 'East Tennessee Roots' that features photographs of the 3 primary officers of the 1st USSS (Hastings, Trepp, Marble) and Helms' pension card-showing the date and location of his death.
