Information received from Monica Newbury, a volunteer at Oakland Cemetery in Dallas, Texas. Monica writes:

“I volunteer at a cemetery in Dallas, Texas and I was very excited to come across this headstone from the NY 62nd Infantry, Anderson’s Zouaves. I can’t find any information on the man (Augustus Burmaster) but his burial card says he was a drummer boy at age 11. How do I confirm this?”

Monica has supplied a photograph of Augustus’ headstone and his burial card. I have included an extract of Augustus’ record from the official roster of the 62d NY Infantry (Anderson Zouaves).
