Civil War Soldiers

This book seeks to reconstruct the totality of the military experience by pursuing three questions. What were the cultural and ideological boundaries that framed the world as Civil War soldiers imagine it? How did soldiers respond to those moments when they felt hemmed in by the sentimental expectations of society, the military’s need for discipline, and the pleas for help from home? How did soldiers intellectually and practically navigate moments of doubt, when the nature of knowledge and its relationship to truth was overturned by war?

Parish Registers

Twentieth-century practices of battlefield preservation construct war graves as sites of memory and continuing commemoration. Such ideas, though they have led archaeologists in a largely fruitless hunt for mass graves, should not be read back into the seventeenth century. Hitherto, little attention has been paid to the practices of battlefield burial, despite the suggestion that the civil wars were proportionately the bloodiest conflict in English history. This chapter analyses the evidence for the treatment of the dead of the civil wars, engaging with debates about the nature and preservation of civil-war battlefields, and the social memory of the civil wars in the mid and later seventeenth century. It concludes that ordinary civil-war soldiers were typically excluded from parish registers as a sign that they were branded as social outcasts in death.
