Re: Re: J. Valentine Harbert

That almost certain is him. I assume the Juliu is "Julius". Now to try to get his obituary!
Thank you very much. As I logged on, and got ready to go to the Iowa board, my thought was, "Ah, I won't get an answer to that posting." And was I ever wrong! Thank you very much. I've been trying to track down these fellows for years, and Ive located one in an obscure little town in southeastern Washington, one who returned to his native New Brunswick and is buried in Saint John; even one buried at sea en route from British Columbia back to his native Tasmania, but Harbert is the first member of Hampton's Legion I've been able to identify as dying and buried in Iowa. I suspect there may be more. Again, a big thank you.
