Faces of the Lost Civil War Soldiers | Washington DC News

A rare Civil War tintype collection from Company B, Second Regiment, Maryland Eastern Shore volunteers—possibly the only surviving set of its kind—is finally being matched to names, with just one soldier, First Sergeant Alfred Benjamin, identified so far. Researchers hope descendants or genealogists can help solve this 150-year-old mystery, honoring those who served and connecting today’s soldiers to their legacy. The photos will be on display at the Maryland Association of Counties Conference in Ocean City this Thursday and Friday—your chance to step up and make history.
