The Union commander led the squad at Fredericksburg, but was killed.

Biography
The commander was an old soldier, though only a sergeant by 1862. At the Battle of Fredericksburg, he commanded the squad of three men that were going to raid the enemy main camp. After telling his soldiers that the Union army would not be home after Christmas if they did not succeed, he ordered his men to disperse after severe cannon fire hit the place. When he charged, he was vulnerable, as he was armed only with a sword, and was killed by enemy fire as he led his men forwards.
