Gen. George H. Thomas


George H. Thomas Post No. 5 was based in Olympia, WA.  The map at the bottom of the page shows the exact location.

The Post namesake is Major General George Henry Thomas (1816-1870).

The Post was organized 13 April 1881 with 14 charter members.  The Post received a new charter on 4 March 1924 with 21 members listed.  This Post was associated with George H. Thomas Corps No. 34, Woman's Relief Corps (WRC) which was installed on 6 March 1891.

From the Washington Standard (Olympia), 15 April 1881:

A number of ex-Union soldiers and sailors met Wednesday evening, at the office of Capt. McMicken and organized a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be known as the George H. Thomas Post No. 5, Department of Washington Territory.
