Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Patrick H. Monaghan, shown here circa 1907, was a native of County Mayo, Ireland who fought for the Union Army during the American Civil War as a corporal with Co. F of the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was awarded the U.S. Medal of Honor on December 1, 1864 for the gallantry he displayed in battle earlier that year (on June 17) when he recaptured the regimental flag of the 7th New York Heavy Artillery, which had fallen into the hands of Confederate troops the day before. He died in Girardville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on October 22, 1917.
