Corporal Isaac G. Bash

Corporal Isaac G. Bash, aged twenty-one, enlisted as a private, was promoted corporal and transferred to the invalid corps. This transfer must have been made after he served through the Kentucky campaign, and probably while the regiment was on garrison duty at Nashville, Tenn. But the writer has been unable to find the date of transfer or anything relating to his subsequent career.
