Comments: By clicking on Albert J. Hill's record, information from the "American Civil War Research Database" regarding Hill is provided. The tag is nicely displayed within a wood frame that measures approximately 9-13/16 x 13-13/16 inches. Even though the tag is within the frame, it is easily accessed due to the simplicity of the display's assembly. No adhesive was used to secure the tag in place. This identification tag will be an excellent addition to any Civil War relic collection.
