Note:
I am quite sure that more than these 68 officers died in the hands of the CSA but have no records to list. For a man fighting for what he believes is right, who ends his life in a POW camp us sad enough. The frustration must be unbearable. But to die in such a circumstance would be the greatest tradegy I can inagine.For that reason, I have listed these men as a group, in addition with the other POW's. They deserve special notice for the total price paid.
