Memorial to Scotty

Hi Rich,
The memorial plaque to "Scotty" is located in St. Joseph's Cemetary in Newton, MA. Somewhere in the various books about the 26th (perhaps Ford, or Sibley) there is mention of Scotty's service. No time to dig back thru the text to find it, but I may stuble across it again. It's an interesting story of a young boy who signed up but was underage. I recall reading somewhere that he died from MG fire during St. Miheil battle, but not 100% sure.
Good luck with your book. I owe you some feedback, I know...
Shawn in Seekonk, MA Do you find this valuable?
