Notes from Musters and assorted items found at end of record:
transferred from 22nd Ky
Muster Out
Baton Rouge
3/11/66
GCM Findings:
Headqrs Post of Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge La 2/25/66
Respectfully returned
After a careful examination of the case I am convinced that the charges are mostly without foundation. A teamster was ordered to haul Lieut Sandram's fuel to he house of a citizen where he boarded and the teamster refused and was put in the guardhouse for disobedience to orders. Capt Gray was found intoxicated by the officer I sent out to Clinton and probably drinks too freely.
A.J. Edgiton[close to this anyway]
Col. 65th USCInfy
Comdg
Statement of 'sickly private'…probably teamster
Clinton La 2/6/66
Major Genl Camby, Sir
I respectfully take My pen in hand to let you know a little about the 7th Kentucky officers how they are going on in Clinton LA. Sir, our commanding officer is Drunk to day and sir on the third day of september he was so drunk that he would not do his duty which I can prove by all the men in the regiment and also he is been drunk one third of his time since that and also Genarl they have not went by military law or army regulations since the regiment has been in Clinton and General they have put me in the guard house because I would not haul wood to a citizen in Clinton La and they took me out in the rain to cut wood for a citizen in town to pay for base board. Genarl we have severed as honorable soldiers for going on five years and we do not like to be treated in such away any longer and general if you will call on the orderly sergents or a great many of the privates they will tell you the same thing.
Heres is there names of
Captain W.K. Gray
