<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 9904633, member: 33&quot;]Yes, it is, I&#039;m pretty sure. There was a John Forrest who was in the 22nd Regiment, Iowa Infantry, and was in Mississippi at the time the inscription was written. This page has the regimental location history, scrolling down a little over halfway. I hope this is a usable link.</p><p><a href="https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units.htm#fq%5B%5D=State%3A%22Iowa%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units.htm#fq%5B%5D=State%3A%22Iowa%22" rel="nofollow">https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units.htm#fq[]=State:&quot;Iowa&quot;</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It may or may not be this John G.

However, it&#039;s a lead, if [USER=81]@Kronos[/USER] has not figured it out already. It&#039;s been a couple of months since he started this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
