Not sure where to post this.

Does anyone have a complete list of the officer assignments at the battle of the Washita.

Thanks in advance.

You are quite welcome. That's why some of us are here to share information we may have at hand.

Still cannot verify what I gave you is complete, but it is the best I have.
