On the left is William Robert Riley and on the right is Jackson Riley.  They are the

sons of Daniel Riley and Grandsons of John Riley, Sr.

 

Both were privates in Company B,  33rd Alabama Infantry Regiment, Hawkins Sharpshooters., CSA.

Please click HERE for am interesting discussion of the 33rd Infantry flag shown above and it's history.

 

I thought you might use this in the Military Section of the John Riley, Sr. site.

 

I also can furnish you with a history of the 33rd Alabama Infantry Regiment if you think it would be of interest.
