Hello Mike-Thanks for the reply. I have visited the Vicksburg battlefield website before and I have seen those plaques you refer to. I even saw a picture of the plaque/monument for the 114th. I have not been able to locate anyone with any info regaring reg. photos but I promise if I ever do I will try and get you a copy.Perhaps someone else will post a message with info about any existing photos.
There is a book that was published in 1979 by John Satterlee called " The Journal & The 114th" published by Phillips Bro.'s in Springfield, Illinois. There were only 1000 copies printed and I was fortunate to obtain #653 almost 15 years ago. The book does not contain any of the photos I was looking for but it does contain complete rosters and also newspaper accounts of the reg. throughout the course of the war. Mr. Bela is in the book on the roster and it says he mustered out May 15, 1865.
Thanks
Johnny
