William M. Wood - War Veteran
I am trying to find information on a New York veteran of the American Civil War that died in Australia; but can find nothing on him except his pension card. I am hoping you can help.
His name was William M. Wood, served in Co. "A", 71 Regiment, N Y S Mil.and Co."H", NY 66 Inf.
He died Jan. 17, 1905, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
His widow received a pension, Jan. 13, 1910, application number
Any information you can provide on him and/or his family would be greatly appreciated.
I want to compile a memorial for him to be placed on the Australian American Civil War Veterans Memorial website at www.acwv.info.
Thank you.
James M. Gray
