| Abstract: | September 14, 2019 marks the 102nd anniversary of the death of Orlando E. Caruana. Born in Valletta on June 23, 1844, he emigrated to New York in 1858. At the actual age of 17, while still in New York, he enlisted for a term of three years in the Union Army, saying his age was 20. After his career in the Army, he had been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honour in 1890 for two acts of courage and heroism 28 years earlier. Caruana died in New York City on September 14, 1917, at the age of 73. |
