After the battle, Armstrong and Kimmel traveled together to Louisville, Kentucky, and resigned their commissions on consecutive days (8/13 and 8/14, respectively) at the Galt House, and both joined the staff of Brigadier General Ben McCulloch as majors. Armstrong went on to become a Confederate brigadier general, while Kimmel remained a staff officer, also serving under Earl Van Dorn and John Magruder. Kimmel’s son Husband was in command of the United States Pacific Fleet on Dec. 7, 1941. His grandson Manning was lost at sea in World War II in command of a submarine.

*John G. Walker was not present at First Bull Run. He would attain the rank of major general in the Confederate army.
