Best described here by our photos as to condition and eye appeal, this rarely encountered New York issue J. B. THAXTER PORTLAND ME 1862 contractor marked cap box is yet another offering from our downsizing of a many year personal accumulation of Maine related Civil War treasures. (see: www.Mainelegacy.com) Set aside in ourstuff years ago primarily because of its Maine affiliation this box offers an obviously period 69 regimental marking along with J. LOUGHLIN identification markings inside the main flap. Thanks to available period rosters and the limited number of so numbered regiments, it was relatively easy to single out Pvt. John Loughlin of Co. K 69th New York Infantry as the only ’J. LOUGHLIN’ recorded as serving in a 69th regiment in any state.
John Loughlin was twenty-eight years of age when he enlisted and was mustered in on August 5,1862 as a Private on Co. K 69th New York Infantry. As a member of the 69th which lost the greatest number of men killed or wounded of any of the New York regiments, would be wounded in action at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. He was discharged for disability on March 11, 1865.
