Soldier’s brass identification disc. With hole for suspension. Diam. 1 in. Obverse with eagle and legend: “War of 1861 / United States.” Reverse stamped “Sergt. J. W. Wallace / Co. F (E) / 49th / Reg. / Pa. Vol. / Strling [sic].”

Joseph W. Wallace of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, enlisted as a sergeant and mustered into Company H of the 49th Pennsylvania Infantry on 9 September 1861. He was promoted to first sergeant on 3 March 1862 before participating in the Peninsula Campaign with his regiment on 26 March. The regiment continued to face action, playing a role in the Seven Days Battles, Antietam, and Gettysburg. Wallace then transferred to Company E on 4 December 1863, before transferring back to Company H — as well as being promoted to first lieutenant — on 1 July 1864. Wallace was killed in action on 19 September 1864 during the Third Battle of Winchester in Virginia.

A great example of a killed-in-action soldier’s ID disc from the Civil War.
