History

The index carries no history for this unit: Joseph H. Crute Jr.'s Units of the Confederate States Army, its source for unit histories, has none.

Where the records are

Compiled service records: NARA M267, Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from the State of South Carolina, 393 rolls, arranged by unit and then by name. The index roll below points into them.
Index cards: NARA M381, rolls 1–35 (alphabetical by surname; each card below names its roll).
Muster-roll captions and record of events: Probably NARA M861, roll 44, under Capt. Melchers' Co. (Co. B, German Artillery); the two names differ in a word and the match should be confirmed on the film.
In the index: Battle unit CSCMELCCA on nps.gov; the cards below link to their records there.

In the 1898 roll book

No roll for this unit is in the surviving volume.

The men, by company

One line per index card, in the index's spelling; "also filed as" is the spelling the index cross-files the card under. "Record" opens the card on nps.gov.
