    9B is UNKNOWN NO MORE
    In the fall of 2022, an unknown soldier known only as 9B was exhumed from a mass grave containing the remains of five Continental soldiers killed at the Battle of Camden. On Sunday, August 13, 2023, the last Sunday before the 243rd anniversary of the battle, 9B was reinterred with full honors.
    We now know that on January 6, 1777, fourteen-year-old John Pumphrey of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, traveled to Baltimore, where he placed his mark on the enlistment papers of the 7th Maryland Regiment.
