F, 165th Pennsylvania Infantry (aka "Drafted Militia"), and honorably discharged with his company July 28, 1863, in Gettysburg. He is listed as having James A. Little substitute for him but obviously one or the other either changed his mind or George failed to find the necessary funds to pay Little.
