    Could always switch it up and who was the only Woman awarded the MOH.

    RE: Civil War MOH

    I thought that the only non-citizens granted the MOH were the Unknown Soldiers of Great Britain, Belgium, France, Italy, and Romania. In US cases, citizenship is conferred before the MOH is awarded. I might be wrong? Another question is how many civilians were awarded the MOH during the Civil War? Paul

    Re: RE: Civil War MOH

    Since we're on the topic of the MOH.  How many MOH were awarded in peacetime, outside of any conflict or combat?
