English: John Lincoln Clem ( August 13, 1851 – May 13, 1937), was a United States Army general who had served as a boy in the Union Army in the American Civil War. He originally joined the army as a drummer boy by running away from home at age 9. John had the nickname "Johnny Shiloh" after a cannon shell crushed his drum during battle at Shiloh. He gained fame for his bravery on the battlefield, becoming the youngest noncommissioned officer in Army history. He retired from the Army in 1916, having attained the rank of major general, as the last veteran of the Civil War still on duty in the Armed Forces.
