Worth Bagley was one of two North Carolians to die in the Spanish American War.  He was on the USS Winslow when a shell struck the ship killing Ensign Bagley and two other sailors and mortally wounding two more.  He was a Navy Academy graduate and had four Navy vessels named after him.  The fourth, DD-386, was named after Worth Bagley and his brother, Admiral David W. Bagley.  David had a distinguished career all the way through WW II.  He was retired with the rank of a 4-star admiral.

This one seems to be dedicated to just some web research but here are two prominant web sites that indicate his history in military service and the (major) battles he participated in. Most information indicates only a single WAR but multiple battles under different ranks of command.\n\nhttp://www.us-civilwar.com/howard.htm\nhttp://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/d_h/howard.htm\nhttp://www.ochcom.org/howard\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Otis_Howard

Contact the National Archives. They have military records. This link might be a good place to start.

I would keep trying to contact someone at Ft. Bragg until you get some information. He has to be on a data base there somewhere. Good luck.

Not that I know of....try classmates.com or google their name.  Try to think of what they used to be involved in or what their interests were; perhaps they have remained...if so....start searching those topics for groups / web pages....ie Militay.com; Yahoo Groups

I doubt it. It is possible. I have a Mexican aquaintance who joined the Army in Los Angeles during the Viet Nam war, is a decorated veteran. He was an illegal alien then, is living in Mexico and is a Plant Manager. No I have no idea how he got away with joining.

Máximo Gómez y Báez was a general in the Ten Years' War and Cuba's military commander in that country's War of Independence (late 19th century).\n\nGómez was born in the Dominican Republic in the province of Peravia town Baní and originally came to Cuba as a cavalry officer in the Spanish Army. He retired from the militia but took the rebel side in 1868 and helped transform their military tactics. He gave the Cuban mambises their most feared tactic: machete charge. The Spanish army was terrified of these charges because they had a majority of infantry troops, mainly conscripts, who were cut down by the machetes. Because the Cubans always lacked munitions, their usual combat technique was to shoot once and then charge. Gómez rose to the rank of Generalísimo of the Cuban forces, due to his superior military leadership. He was shot in the neck in 1875 while crossing the fortified line or trocha from Júcaro in the south to Morón in the North. After that he always wore a kerchief around his neck. His second and last wound came in 1896 while fighting in the rural areas outside Havana. That he was wounded only twice during 15 years of guerrila warfare against an enemy always superior in mampower and logistics. in contrast, his most trusted officer, Antonio Maceo, was shot 27 times in the same span of time, with number 26 being the mortal wound. Incidentally, Gómez' son, Francisco "Panchito" Gómez Toro was killed trying to recover Maceo's dead body, in combact December 7th, 1896. At the end of the Cuban Independence War in 1898 he retired to a villa outside of Havana. He refused nomination to the first presidential elections in Cuba in 1901, mainly because he always disliked politics and after 40 years of living in Cuba he still felt that being Dominican-born he should not be a leader of Cuba. Died in his villa in 1905.\n\nMaximo Gomez Park, a park in Miami, Florida, United States, – better known as Domino Park – was named in his honor.\n\nGómez portrait graces Cuban currency on the $10 pesos bill.

I copied this off one of the entries in RWWC. (Link 3).\n\n===================== \n\nBenjamin Franklin Royal was called "Frank". He enlisted in the Confederate Army on August 1, 1861 and was mustered on August 8, 1861 at Waynesboro, GA in Co. E Cobb's Legion Georgia Volunteers. Thomas Cox was Captain of his unit. \n\nThomas R. Cobb, commissioned Colonel of Cobb's Legion led the troops in the Seven Days Battle, June 25- July 1-1862, Second Bull Run, August 29-30, 1862, and Antietam, September 1862. He was at Harper's Ferry in October 1862. Col. Cobb was killed on December 13, 1862, at the Battle of Fredericksburg. After this the troops were under the leadership of General Wade Hampton in J.E.B. Stuart's command. \n\nDuring the Battle at Chancellorsville, April - May, 1863, Frank was wounded in the arm and his left ankle was broken in two places. He was in the Chimborazo Hospital at Richmond, VA (7,800 beds). Records state he was 27 years old. He was admitted to Jackson Hospital in Richmond, VA., on Aug. 5, 1863. It was noted that he was there Sept. 26, 1863, when he was issued clothes. \n\nHe was again in battle at the Wilderness Campaign, May 5-7, 1864. At the Battle of Gettysburg he was wounded behind the right ear. The hole was repaired by inserting a 50 cent piece in the hole in his skull. He recovered. He served in Inf., Cav., and Artillery Units. \n\nAt the Battle of New Market, September 28-30, 1864, Frank was captured, sent to Point Lookout, Maryland, until the end of the war and the surrender of the South. There were no barracks and water was scarce at Point Lookout. There were nearly 20,000 prisoners there at times. \n\nAfter the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, the Southerners took an Oath of Allegiance and walked home. On his Oath of Allegiance records described him as 5 feet, nine inches tall, with dark complexion, black hair, and light blue eyes. Frank walked from Maryland to Burke Co., GA. Family stories say that he came home at night and slept on the porch. The next morning his wife boiled his clothes in a pot while he ate and cleaned up. \n\nIn 1895 Frank received an Indigent Pension. He lived with his son(Henry Elbert) and his family as a greatly revered member of the family. His grandchildren remember the times around the fire when he told stories of the war. His Confederate Grave Marker does not show birth or death dates. \n\n...Notes from Annie M. Broxton Cooper and Elizabeth Royal Patton, both great- granddaughters.\n\n================================ \n\nWrite to me - Yahoo!
