During 2005 members of the 10th held a fund raiser this year to raise the monies
necessary to replace a very old and very weather-beaten marker of Lt. Col. John M.
Legett of the 10th Louisiana Infantry. Lt. Col. Legett enlisted July 22, 1861 at Camp
Moore, LA "Louisiana Rebels".
Legett's final resting place is in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond Virginia. The stone
was replaced in December 2005 by the SOUTHERN SOLDIERS REMEMBRANCE
FUND.
On September 16th 2006, members travelled to Richmond for a re dedication ceremony.

During the past two years, the ACWHRS has been raising funds to have new grave
markers placed on the final resting place of all members of the 10th La. in Hollywood
Cemetery in Richmond. Spearheaded by Donna Elliott, there remain but a few to be
completed. It is our hope that soon all 28 markers will have been replaced. The task of
replacing the markers is being done with the help of the Southern Soldiers
Remembrance Fund and we are grateful for their leadership in this important matter.
