He
died in early 1900s in Baltimore City after serving more than thirty years in the military, beginning in the late 1800s. In
the 1800s, while assigned to the 9th Cavalry Regiment on the Western Frontier, Augustus Walley was awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor for saving one of his fellow Buffalo Soldiers while the unit was under attack by the
Native Indians.
This recognition was not noted on his tombstone. In the early 1990s, Houston D. Wedlock, in his
research for former Buffalo Soldiers, discovered this serious ommision, and in 1995, he and John Craig made elaborate
arrangements to have this fallen, neglected hero recognized. With all the glitter of the news media, Augustus Walley was
formally recognized for his award of the Congressional Medal of Honor at lengthy ceremonies in the Bond Avenue area
of Reisterstown, Maryland.
Present at the activities were his niece, 90 year old, Mrs. Inez Lee, and a great-niece, Betty Stokes. The entire story on
Augustus Walley has been written in a historical book on Bond Avenue, by Louis S. Diggs, a charter member of the
Chapter. A title for his book has not yet been established. His book will be published in late 1996. Please continue to
monitor this web page for the date of the publication of Trooper Diggs' book and the title of it.
