is a little mound marked George H. Buck Co. H. 20th Maine Volunteers.
The quartermaster returned to Maine at the close of the war. A few years later telegrams were flying over the state with these had been on an attempted robery of the Lime Rock Bank at Rockland that the burglers had been arrested, and that among them was a prominent businessman of the town. As the members of our old regiment read his name, they saw it was the ex-quartermaster of whom I have been writing. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to serve a term of years in the state prison. Far better if he had filled a soldier's grave. When he was released from state prison he left for parts unknown. In the winter he was moved out of our brigade to avoid the spread of smallpox.
April 1st, 1863 F.H. Knowden returned from the hospital.
5th A snowstorm of 4 inches.
8th We went on picket. Some of our regt's men saw a man in the night and discharged his rifle at him and he fled.
