Sharing this remarkable story from New Zealand about Pvt. Charles William Flowers who served in the Ohio 21st Infantry during the Civil War being the only Civil War veteran buried in Invercargill, New Zealand.
His Find A Grave memorial also poignantly recounts his unique life.
Excerpts:
"The four photos set on tiles and fixed to Flowers’s headstone are of the union flag used in the civil war, the emblem of the 21st Ohio Infantry Regiment, Charles Flowers and his medal.
Bouquets of red carnations, Ohio’s official state flower, were placed on Flowers’s grave at Saturday’s memorial service."
