18th Louisiana: Burial Sites: Prisons/Hospitals

Men Who Died While Captive
in Federal Prisons and/or Federal Hospitals

The following table lists the Men of the 18th Louisiana Infantry Regiment who, according to various records DIED as a result of their captivity. In some cases their deaths were the result of injuries sustained in battle, (Shiloh, etc.) and in at least one case the soldier's death resulted from illness. Whatever the case, the Men listed below did not return from captivity and are laid to rest in various Federal cemeteries. To those Men, the following is dedicated:

The Story Behind Taps

(Author: Unknown)

It all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land.

During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moan of a soldier who lay mortally wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead.

The captain lit a lantern. Suddenly, he caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was His son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, he enlisted in the Confederate Army.

The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial despite his enemy status. His request was partially granted. The captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for the son at the funeral. That request was turned down since the soldier was a confederate.

Out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of his dead son's uniform. This wish was granted This music was the haunting melody we now know as "Taps" that is used at all military funerals.

In case you are interested, these are the words to "Taps"

Day is done,

Gone the sun,

From the lakes,

From the hills,

From the sky.

All is well.

Safely rest.

God is nigh.

A special "Thank You" is extended to John R. Gunter, webmaster of the Iowa 3rd Cavalry
for his kind and generous gesture of allowing the 18th Louisiana Infantry Regiment
permission to use "The Story Behind Taps"...
