Line 25:
'''Benjamin Bennett Levy''' (22 February 1845 - 20 July 1921) was a [[Private (rank)|Private]] in the [[Union Army]] and a [[Medal of Honor]] recipient for his actions in the [[American Civil War]]. His younger brother Robert Levy also served as a drummer, with the [[7th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment]], during the American Civil War.
After Benjamin's drum was destroyed during a battle, he took the weapon of his ill tent mate, Jacob Turnbull, and joined the battle. Shortly thereafter he saw the color bearer, Charley Mahorn, fall from a bullet wound to the chest, and picked up Mahorn's flag and joined the charge.
