Sergeant Deetline was born in 1846 died 13 December 1910. Medal of Honor winner at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Memorial service held on 4 November 1978. Carroll gave the necrology and a talk �Dutchy of the Seventh� was given by Georg Schneider-Wettengel. Single leagal-sized sheet of paper, folded in half. From the internet: �Private Frederick Deetline was one of twenty-four soldiers of the 7th Cavalry to earn the Medal of Honor during the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876, often called "Custer's Last Stand." Five men received awards for direct combat actions. Sergeant Geiger was one of nineteen men who was cited for heroism in obtaining critical water for the wounded. Four brave troopers exposed themselves to the enemy for four hours from a position ahead of the line while Private Deetline and fourteen of his comrades slipped out of the right wing of Captain Benteen's line to cross eighty yards of fire-swept ground to reach a deep ravine. With camp kettles, the fifteen brave men made repeated trips to the river while under protective fire from the four troopers in the front of the line. Despite the great danger, and Indian warriors who concealed themselves in bushes along the river in order to ambush the party, only one of these men was wounded. Had not the critical supply of water been obtained, many more of the wounded would have died.� Carroll was one of the primary speakers at the dedication ceremony. A very scarce publication which obviously would have been printed in a very limited number.
