User talk:18thIndiana

Quite a bit of the information on this page is incorrect. The 18th Indiana had six three inch ordnance rifles and later the addition of a battery of mountain howitzers. They were organized in 1862, not 1860 as stated. Most members of the battery served to the end of the war, not dropping out in "63 as stated. And Lilly wasn't "re-assigned". He resigned his commission to take charge of the 9th Indiana Cavalry, when it became clear that the battery was being put in unnecessary danger. The poster is a copy of the original, which is now on display at the Eli Lilly Company HQ in Indianapolis, but the guns listed on the poster were not what the battery received. Please do propper research on the battery before posting here on Wikipedia. 18thIndiana (talk) 04:33, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
