. Officers of the army and navy (regular) who served in the Civil War . -mander Cooke. During the Red River expedition, in 1863, he crossedtroops over Berwick Bay and transported General Gra-vers division through Grand Lake and landed it atIndian Bend, under fire, without accident. Next morn-ing, at daylight, the flotilla under Cooke was attacked bythe Queen of the West and another gun-boat armedwith rifled cannon, and with sharp-shooters behind cot-ton-bales.
