Bi-monthly muster rolls for Company D, 9th Georgia Infantry are missing from the records for the period March, 1863 through October, 1863 which precludes knowledge of their service during this period. Henry was on furlough January 31, 1861, then on Recruiting duty in Georgia from February 3 to March 15, receiving pay for this period of service on March 31, 1863 at Richmond, Va. It would seem reasonable to believe he was present with his regiment at Gettysburg in July.
