PALMETTO REGIMENT
From Knob Knowledge
This Regiment served in the Mexican War. Although it was drilled by Citadel cadets, only two cadets ever served in the war. They were Thomas J. Mackey and Allen H. Little. Both returned to The Citadel as veteran students after the war. Little graduated first in his class, but Mackey never graduated. (Source: Oliver J. Bond, The Story of The Citadel, pp. 33-34.
