Thayer's Note:

a As with other Confederate officers, Cullum's Register omits his war record: he was the Chief of Artillery of the Army of Northern Virginia. The deficiency is made good on several websites; the page at Find-a‑Grave linked above provides an adequate summary.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
