That's hilarious Hawg. AWOL from wife.
I found one where a black Confederate was listed as a cook. He deserted and after several months his status was listed as private. You can't shoot a cook because a cook is a civilian (back then) but it was OK for the Confederates to shoot a private (even though blacks weren't allowed to be soldiers until near the end of the war).
