Gents;
While researching the history of my family, I noticed one member's gravestone says that he served in the 22nd Va Inf. However upon further investigation, I discovered that it was 22nd Va Inf, of which it was part of the 3rd Va Reserves.
So I'm wondering how did State Reserve/Militias designate themselves?...Did they identify themselves the same as "Regular" units?...
Any ideas would be helpful.
