Phillip Joseph McNulty, Civil War Veteran

1st Regiment Mobile Volunteers, Alabama British Guards

 

McNulty served with an unusual regiment during the Civil War. It was composed of nineteen companies organized for local defense service in Mobile by Aug 24, 1863. The members of this regiment had to be under or over age, foreigners, exempts or men discharged from regular Confederate military service.

 

As far a fighting is concerned, members of this command usually served as provost guards. They patrolled city streets, guarded military depots, made up the city fire brigades and manned fortifications around Mobile until the city was evacuated by Confederate forces on April 11, 1865. The regiment disbanded before Federal troops made their appearance.

Phillip McNulty, a British Subject, served with this regiment. His grave marker is topped with a stone version of the Southern Cross of Honor.
