Biography
First on the works, he stormed the rebel line at Big Shanty!
Thomas Timothy Fallon was an Irish-born American soldier who fought in the American Civil War. Fallon received the United States' highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor, for his action during the Battle of Williamsburg in Virginia in May 1862 and the Battle of Seven Pines in Virginia and Big Shanty, Georgia in June 1864. He was honored with the award on 13 February 1891.
Verified service: U.S. Army; citation record needs reconciliation with service file. The current biography attributes actions at Williamsburg, Seven Pines, and Big Shanty; these multiple-action claims should be reconciled against the official citation before further expansion. No reliable prewar or postwar detail beyond the current biography was established in the official recipient record reviewed.
