We know of quite a number of Confederates who died here in Britain in the 1920's ....John Short the famous blckade runner
died in 1933..and Federal Pt Hoare buried in Portsmouth was the last soldier to die here in 1934, but only recently we heard
from Michael Hammerson that a participant of the war died here as late as 1943, she was Hannah Beavis Walters who died on
March 20 1943, in Southport , England,she had been sitting in church when she was told that nurses were needed at nearby Gettysburg.
She was 101 when she died and research is continuing.
