a As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his (brief) war record: the Find-a‑Grave page linked above supplies it.
It should be noted that his actual Confederate rank is just maybe a matter of some slight doubt: the Southern Historical Society Papers states of him, "Rank not known", but is alone in that respect.
Images with borders lead to more information.
