Company A
Thomas E. L. Howle - Private
I have located the CSA gravestone for Pvt. Thomas E.L. Howle but have not located his military records. His gravestone shows he was with Co A. 1st La. Infantry. He was born in 1828 and died in 1864. He may have died as a POW as his gravestone is engraved with PH. POW I do not know what the PH indicates but may be a clue to the location of the Pow Camp. Further research is necessary to flesh out his records.

Company F
Benjamin Franklin Wood - Sergeant
BENJAMIN SR. WAS A SERGEANT IN COMPANY F, 28TH LOUISIANA INFANTRY. HIS WIDOWS CONFEDERATE PENSION APPLICATION, FILED IN 1899, STATES THAT HE WAS KILLED IN ACTION ON APRIL 8, 1864 IN THE BATTLE OF PLEASANT HILL, LOUISIANA. THIS APPLICATION WAS WITNESSED BY W.S. ROBINSON IN JACKSON PARRISH LOUISIANA, ROBINSON WAS 1ST LT. OF CO. F. HOWEVER, ROGER BROTHERS SUSPECTS THAT BENJAMIN ACTUALLY FELL AT MANSFIELD, LA., THIRTEEN MILES TO THE NORTH, FOR THREE REASONS. FIRST, THE FIGHTING AROUND PLEASANT HILL TOOK PLACE ON APRIL 9TH, SECONDLY THE 28TH LA. REGIMENT TOOK EXTREMELY HEAVY CASUALTIES AT MANSFIELD AND WERE NOT HEAVILY ENGAGED AT PLEASANT HILL (BEING USED IN A RESERVE CAPACITY THAT DAY), FINALLY THE TWO BATTLES ARE MANY TIMES CONSIDERED TO BE THE SAME ACTION BECAUSE THE FIGHTING STARTED AT MANSFIELD LATE IN THE DAY ON THE 8TH AND CONTINUED MORE OR LESS AS A RUNNING FIGHT TO PLEASANT HILL ON THE 9TH. THE BATTLE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE BATTLE OF MANSFIELD-PLEASANT HILL.
