R. H. Wall, Private, Company E, 57th Virginia Infantry, admitted Chimborazo Hospital No. 3, February 24, 1865, Febris Interns Bil.**, transferred to Danville March 16, no further records

Note: I suspect he had recently attained the Conscript age of 17, who enlisted sometime after the last Company E muster roll in the records, that which was dated October 31, 1864 where the regiment was then stationed near Burmuda Hundred, Va. This would explain the lack of enlistment information on him.

** Fever of some variety
