Young Union Soldier Found at Manassas | Washington DC News

A Union soldier’s remains, unearthed at Manassas Battlefield in March 2024 near a historic field hospital, offer a haunting glimpse into the brutal realities of the Civil War. Likely aged 16–19 and bearing evidence of four surgically amputated limbs, the young soldier probably fought in the Second Battle of Manassas. Now, the National Park Service is honoring him with a formal transfer to the Office of Army Cemeteries after completing archaeological studies. His story—though unnamed—is being preserved with dignity, and full documentation is publicly available until September 4.
