Browner is right, as always.
If a soldier is found on the Shiloh field he will be reinterred. If evidence proves he is a Union soldier he will go to the National Cametery. If he is Confederate..well there would be certainly be some discussion about where he would moved to but I would expect it would be in the vicinity of Burial Trench No.3 which is tour stop 5 on the park tour. In the 1960's two Confederates were found just outside the park boundary and this is where they were laid to rest. The two Union soldiers that were found near Battery Robinett, though initially removed, were replaced in their original graves, as this site has been a designated burial site since Col. William Rogers of the 2nd Texas was buried there on October 5, 1862.
