Mr. Tracy is the great great grandson of William Bush (original French Canadian spelling: Boush) and generously supplied this collection of photo memoribilia of his gr. gr. grandfather. The buttons bear the standard Massachusetts design of a raised arm holding a sword. The small book is a French Bible carried by William Bush during the war. The brass plate appears to be a stencil for marking his possessions. Click the links for additional post-war GAR photos and photos of various possessions of William Bush that were passed down.
