Company H, 102 P.V.V, Pittsburgh Washington Infantry 102 (Old 13th) Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer “Re-Union” ribbon dated August 15th, 1889. Mostly separated condition. Our research showed Frank M. Eastman, a Middlesex County Bristow descendent, coming to Middlesex in 1896, was a member of Company H 102 and this was most likely his ribbon. Eastman’s own writing entitled Chapter XII Butler County During The War of 1861-65 One Hundred and Second Regiment Company H, p. 100 (credit to sites.rootweb.com), provides an extensive look into the service of Co. H 102, which “participated in the following engagements: Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Mary’s Heights, Salem Church, Petersburg, Winchester, Fisher’s Hill, Cedar Creek, final attack on Petersburg and Sailor’s Creek. ‘’ Corp. Eastman mustered in service Sept 2, 1861, was wounded at Salem Heights May 3, 1863, and re-enlisted in 1863. He was wounded again, losing his left arm, at Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864.
