Blues and Grays say hello to James Thompson, ex-Pa 133rd corporal. One of the first identified photos of a Pa 133rd soldier.

last I checked--Sheesh, I bet about a year ago.--the little regiment that Time forgot, the 133rd Pennsylvania, has its own Wikipedia page.
*Update. There were so many posts here on this subject that I began grouping them so that I could keep track. Then the group posts became so long that they took up the entire first page of this blog. So I broke up the groups and designated them by roman numerals. So, this will start the third "installment."
