Hello,
Below find a roster which I'm working on "fleshing" out alittle bit on Company B of the 1st Rhode Island Volunteers, I'm hoping to have in the next few weeks a more completed and updated roster than is currently found online, with history, of the entire 1st Regiment and the other Rhode Island Units and Volunteers from the War with Spain on our Camp website (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scjssawv/index.html).
Any information that you might have on Corporal Charles B. Montgomery that you would be willing to share with us would be very much appreciated, as part of our groups goals (The Sons of Spanish American War Veterans and Daughters of 98) is to gather any and all information on the veterans of the War since they are so often overlooked and forgotten.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you.
- Kenneth H. Robison II,
Sons of Spanish American War Veterans.
