August 10, 1864---The Confederate Roll of Honor

AUGUST 10, 1864:   

The Confederate Office of The Adjutant and Inspector General publishes a “Roll of Honor” of men whose service to the Confederacy has gone above and beyond the call of duty. It lists such honored men chronologically by battle, State, Regiment, and Company. As the Confederacy did not issue medals but only commendations, this Honor Roll is essentially the equivalent of a list of U.S. Medal of Honor recipients.
