The Maine State Archives in Augusta has pretty much everything you could want on the 19th.

Nelson, Erastus P, 37, China, 25 Aug '62 ; Pr. Sergt. m.o.

Pr = promoted

Thank you for the information when I did a search on Google that did not come up. I have contacted the archives in Maine and they are going to copy all of the records for me. I wonder if there are any images floating around out there.

Thank You
