Among the 5,000 grave markers for Confederate soldiers in the Soldier’s Rest section of Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, Mississippi, one pays tribute to Old Douglas, the camel of the 43rd Mississippi Infantry, Company A, nicknamed “The Camel Regiment.”

To find Douglas turn into the cemetery @ Lindsey St from Sky Farm Ave. A bit after the first cross street you will see a group of graves with Confederate flags on the left. Douglas' marker (the one with the camel on it) is on the right side of the group, second row in.
