Talk:Battle of the Wilderness order of battle: Union

This article is a nice list. Unfortunately it misses notes and references (where did you take the data?). A link at the bottom is not enough. If suitable references are added, this can be moved to B-class. --gala.martin ( what? ) 22:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Col. Frank
I noticed my red links were deleted for no reason so I thought I'd explain. Col. Paul A. Frank is notable: a bvt brig. general after the war, a division commander briefly during the Bristoe Campaign, and in many accounts of battles he's the 'weak link' - he was known to drink so other generals plan around Frank's unit not doing what it was supposed to and afterwards they blame his unit for various failures which eventually led him to be relieved during the Battle for Spotsylvania Court House.

 * Note: cleaned up my comment, but even more interestingly all the officers who were going to try him in his court martial were killed the day after he was relieved of command, so he was returned to duty (presumably as Col. of the 52nd) and was honorably discharged in October.
