"...Sometime before the outbreak of the Civil War, John [Pohl], like his younger brother Peter [Pohl], left home to explore Michigan. ...On 16 August 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company C of the 27th Michigan Infantry in Houghton, MI....
"During his three-year enlistment, John served in General Grant's Army during the seige of Vicksburg and later in the Petersburg, Virginia campaign. It was during this seige at the battle of Poplar Grove Church on 30 September 1864, that John was wounded in his left forearm and wrist. Ultimately these wounds would cause the loss of his thumb."
