After the battle 15 soldiers from Company C, including two sergeants, were found near Calhoun Ridge. Lakota/Cheyenne eyewitness accounts of the battle and artifacts from archeological digs revealed that Company C appeared to have maintained a good skirmish line under heavy fire. Allan's body was not listed as being identified. It is likely that his unidentified remains were buried where they had been found on the battlefield. In 1881 all known battlefield burials were moved to a mass grave on Last Stand Hill.
