Personally appeared before me the undersigned, authorized by law to administer oaths, Sergeant Major Albert W. McMillan 7th Cavalry, who being duly sworn according to law, deposes and says; that up to Dec. 31st, 1890, he was a Sergeant in Troop "E" 7th Cavalry and that at the battle of Wounded Knee, S.D., Dec 29th, 1890 Troop "E" 7th Cavlary was deployed in skirmish line along the north side of a ravine from a pocket in which they were endeavoring to drive several Indians who were good shots and doing great injury to the men who were endeavoring to force them from the ravine; That Private Thomas Sullivan (now Corporal) and Private Mosheim Feaster, Troop "E" 7th Cavalry, when volunteers were called for to move from the left of our skirmish line and move to an exposed position (about 40yds distant from the concealed Indians) which would command this pocket to better advantage, did voluntarily and of their own accord move to this position and their bravery at that time called forth the following remark from 1st Lieut H.G. Sickel 7th Cavalry Commanding Troop, "men, Sullivan and Feaster have been brave men to-day." Lieut Sicel was at this time on the skirmish line with his men, although he had no arms but a pistol and about five minutes previous to the remark referred to Private Kellner Troop "E" 7th Cavalry, the skirmisher on his right had been shot by one of the Indians concealed in the above mentioned pocket. I was the skirmisher on Lieut Sickel's left about 5yds distant from him.https://armyatwoundedknee.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/albert-w-mcmillan-death-announcement.jpgAlbert W.

However, the 7th Cavalry trooper pictured is wearing a 1904 design Medal of Honor, and two campaign medals that were not issued until more than a decade after Hobday's death in 1891.

H. G. Sickel, 7th Cavalry, Comdg, Troop E, recommends these men for medals of honor for conspicuous bravery at Wounded Knee Creek, S.D., December 29, 1890, as follows: The troop being engaged, dismounted, with Indians concealed in a ravine, Tritle and Sullivan attracted attention by their endeavors to drive the Indians from thier position, it being necessary to expose themselves for this purpose to a close fire from the ravine. Tritle received a slight wound in right hand, but continued in his efforts to dislodge the Indians until disabled by a severe wound in right shoulder. While still in the field the troop comdr. took occasion to refer to the excellent conduct of Pvt. Sullivan. McMillan and Austin were conspicuously brave, frequently exposing themselves to close fire from the ravine in order to obtain an advantage over the concealed Indians, and rendered much assistance in placing the men in good positions and, encourageing them by good example. Above is corroborated by 2d Lieut. Rice, 7th Cavalry, who also recommends Tritle for a certificate of merit, in addition to a medal of honor, and requests that a medal by granted to another man, Private Hermann Ziegner, same company, not mentioned by Lt. Sickel; says Ziegner distinguished himself by exposing himself to the fire of the Indians and volunteering to go to the support of Capt. Varnum, and there again attracting attention by his coolness and gallantry. These recommendations of Lieut. Rice are approved by the troop commander.2016-02-25T02:31:25+00:00monthlyhttps://armyatwoundedknee.com/2014/12/11/reminiscences-of-private-andrew-m-flynn-a-troop-medic-7th-cavalry/https://armyatwoundedknee.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/pine-ridge-agency-s-d-field-maneuvers.jpgPine Ridge Agency, S.D.
