This is a photo shared with me by Scott Valentine of Military Images magazine after he purchased this CDV. Capt. Frederick Volk references Lt. John Berry, 1st Lieutenant of Co, F, 65th NY Volunteers, in his diary, so he is mentioned in No Flinching from Fire. Scott was kind enough to buy a copy of the book, and I was thrilled to get an image of him, of course. Killed in Upton’s Assault at Spotsylvania on June 10th, 1864, Berry’s body was never found and identified. He is likely buried in an unknown grave at Fredericksburg National Cemetery, where my good friend Larry Fata visited this summer. I love this image, as it helps make human the horrible carnage of the Civil War.
