​​At the time of the 1864 battle of Plattsburg, George McCulloch was the 1st Lieutenant of his company.  He took over command of the company when Captain John Turney was killed in action. ​ ​This picture is of George W. McCulloch a few months after the 1864 battle of Plattsburg Missouri.

​​He was subsequently elected to the rank of Captain of Company E, 89th E.M.M. and served until early 1865 when the Enrolled Missouri Militia organizations were disbanded.
