Approximately 516,000 Union soldiers, or 23.4% of all Union soldiers, were immigrants; about 216,000 of these were born in Germany.

My great-great uncle was such a man...or boy. He was 17 and had just arrived from Norway, and was conscripted into the Union army. He couldn't speak a word of English, and was soon killed - probably as cannon fodder. My Great Grandmother and Grandfather received the only notification of his death, a small package containing a couple of the items he had taken with him when he was forced to leave his new home in the US.
