This is a very nice cdv photograph of Aldrich standing in full uniform. Studio view of him wearing single-breasted frock with shoulder straps, sash, sword belt, gauntlets, trousers with thin stripe down leg, and he has his sword propped in front of him. Perfectly clear with good contrast.
Typical mount with ruled border; untrimmed. Nicely signed in ink at bottom, “Capt. John Aldrich, Co A 15 NHV”. No backmark.
John Aldrich was from Gilford, NH and was 38 years old when he enlisted on September 16, 1862, and mustered in on October 20, 1862, into Company A, 15th New Hampshire Infantry and was appointed as Captain on November 3, 1862; promoted Major on April 8, 1863; and transferred to Staff of the 15th Regiment. The 15th was sent to the 19th Army Corps in the Department of the Gulf and fought at Port Hudson. Aldrich was wounded on May 27, 1863, during the Siege of Port Hudson. He was mustered out on August 18, 1863, at Concord, New Hampshire. After the war, he returned to Gilford. He died in 1919 and is buried in Hillside Cemetery, Laconia, New Hampshire. [jet] [ph:L]
