This concludes the long list of Waldeck soldiers who were either reported as deserters or having died during their term of duty at the Gulf of Mexico. I am sure that many of these names turn up in some form and variation in the church books of Louisiana, particularly at the German Coast region.

Hopefully these records have survived.

 

 

Thank you John for helping to save a history that may have been lost.  Nelda
