Thanks so much for the information!!That was great! I had some information, but this was indeed made clearer. What were Junior Reserves? I assume John Jacob Sparks never did get his pension. My understanding of Grandfather Sparks was that he was captured at Gettysburg, escaped, and later formed a new regiment. I really appreciate your help. I have recently acquired a large picture of J J Sparks and I have become more interested in him. Are there other pictures of his division? I had heard that he was only one of two of his division that survived Gettysburg. Do you know if this is true? My understanding had been that he and this other man were tending to the wounds of others. That would fit in with the nursing that you mentioned. Thanks again, Jackie Pendarvis
