Union Army during the Civil War. The unit he was in fought in and around Helena, Arkansas; Vicksburg, Mississippi; and Germantown, Tennessee.
This would have likely entailed skirmishes around Byhalia, MS which is just 20 miles south of Germantown. At the same time, a man by the name of Casey Young was fighting for the Confederacy in and around Byhalia, MS and possibly Germantown, TN since again the two are very close. After the war, Cora Erion (Philipps niece)would marry Robert Edgar Barnard (nephew to Casy Young.
