Gen. Warren Post No. 28 of Walla Walla, WA
Gen. Warren Post No. 28 was based in Walla Walla, Walla Walla County, WA. The map at the bottom of the page shows the exact location.
Its namesake is Gouverneur Kemble Warren (1830-1882), a Union general and engineering officer whose Civil War career centered on his role at the Battle of Gettysburg. He recognized the importance of Little Round Top, dispatching troops to the undefended hill and securing the Union flank. While he eventually rose to lead the V Corps through the Siege of Petersburg, his methodical approach often conflicted with his superiors. This tension led General Philip Sheridan to relieve him of command during the Battle of Five Forks in 1865 for alleged slowness. Warren spent his remaining years seeking to clear his name; though a court of inquiry eventually exonerated him in 1882, the findings were published after his death.
Gen. Warren Post No. 28 of Walla Walla was mustered in on 12 June 1886. The charter was surrendered in late 1888 or early 1889 with 22 members on the roll.
