Yes, Lt. Colonel Thomas W. Custer was an admirable soldier. His two MOH awards were for actions in the Civil War. His younger brother named Boston Custer was also killed at LBH.

Tom, unfortunately, had a drinking problem which concerned Libbie Custer who was very close to all the members of the Custer family.
