Enlisted on 13 May 1861 at Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan for a 3-year term; he was residing in Ionia County, Michigan prior to his enlistment at 19 years of age; mustered in on 10 June 1861, Company E, 3rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment as a Private; discharged for wounds received in action when issued a Surgeon's Certificate of Disability at Davids Island, Westchester County, New York on 9 April 1863; enlisted in Veteran Reserve Corps on 8 July 1863 as a Corporal; discharged at expiration of term of service at Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana on 11 July 1866.
"Case 304. — Private A. F. Dinsmore, Co. E, 3d Michigan, aged 19 years, was wounded at Fair Oaks, May 31, 1862, and admitted to Hygeia Hospital, Fort Monroe, four days afterwards. On June 12th the wounded man was transferred on board of the Hospital Steamer Fulton and conveyed to New York. Surgeon J. Simons, U. S. A., reported that he was admitted to De Camp Hospital, David's Island, June 15th, and discharged from service April 9, 1863, by reason of "shot fracture of left thigh." Several months afterwards the man entered the Veteran Reserve Corps, and after serving in that organization for three years he was mustered out and pensioned. Subsequently the pensioner received employment as clerk in the General Land Office, and in December, 1866, he visited the Army Medical Museum, where his photograph was taken (Photo. Scries of Surgical Cases, No. 157, A. M. M.). At that time he was in good health, though the missile, a musket ball, which fractured the femur at the upper third, was still lodged in the limb. The bone was firmly united, union having occurred, according to his statement, about, seven months after the injury, and his treatment having been by moderate extension and counter-extension, he also stated that numerous detached fragments were removed. Examiner J. B. Bascom certified, September 4, 1873 : "Gunshot fracture of left femur. The ball remains in the hip. A fistulous opening finally healed, but occasionally breaks out again. There is a large indurated cicatrix over the trochanter major and several smaller ones, caused by the opening of abscesses." The pensioner was paid June 4, 1879. A copy of the photograph is shown in Fig. 2 of Plate LVIII, opp. p. 180." -- The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion. Part III, Volume II.
