NOTE: The following names were transcribed from the actual RI GAR Arnold Post No. 4 records available to us. The ID #s of each Veteran listed on this page are the "Post 4" ID #s as listed for each in the official Post 4 Roster Book, 1877 to 1930. The ID #s are not the ID #s that were issued to each GAR Veteran when they became a member of the Order. The Post 4 ID #s are therefore not the GAR Veteran ID # engraved on the edge of the GAR Membership Insignia. |
