Georgia 50th Infantry Regiment

 


HISTORICAL NOTES:

    Peter McGlashin of this regiment is often referred to as General in numerous post-war references and that he received his Generalship, late in the war. None of my reference sources list this either, except for Henderson. And I point this out: 1) The brigade was commanded by James Simms at the time, and Simms and McGlashin were both captured at Sailor's Creek; this incident, while creating a vacancy at the brigade level, does not provide McGlashan with the opportunity to fill it. 2) Some people feel that since McGlashan was state commander of the confederate veterans, that the title General was honorary.

FIELD OFFICERS:

    McGlashan, Peter Alexander Selkirk-Colonel.
