please check the abbreviation used for Corporal in the Battle of Antietam section. You have used "Corp.", but at least in my experience the correct abbreviation should be "Cpl";
Donein the Removal from the Irish Brigade section, I suggest rewording this clause: "honoring their role as "honorary Irishmen"..." (repeated word honor is the issue); Done- In some places I found the language a little awkward, but I don't think it is a enough to hold the article back from GA. I made a few tweaks, but I'd suggest, however, making a request at the Guild of Copy Editors to have someone take a look over the article prior to pursuing an A class review or an FA review.
Is there an article on the Medal of Honor recipients? If they exist, you should link to them (I've linked a couple I could find); Donethere are a couple of citations that should be consolidated per WP:NAMEDREFS, e.g. Bowen, 435; Bowen, 451; and Bowen, 448; Done

- Thank you very much for your review and for your improvements to the article. I appreciate your time on this. I think I've addressed your concerns as outlined above. In particular, I created new pages for those two Medal of Honor winners who did not previously have pages and linked them. Also, I added citations where needed. Let me know if I haven't adequately covered any of your concerns. Thanks! Historical Perspective (talk) 19:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
