Gen. Claudius Wilson. There are no photographs of Wilson in uniform. He helped organize the 25th Georgia and elected colonel in September 1861. Promoted to brigadier-general in November 1863 but did not live to wear the uniform. Major campaigns and battles include early defense of the Carolinas, the Vicksburg campaign, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga.
