Henry Marmaduke received a light wound in the fight with the USS Monitor on March 8, 1862. His ship, the CSS Virginia, went into battle without its ensign showing Missouri on one of its stars. (Marmaduke was from Missouri.)
His father, Meredith Miles Marmaduke remained a Unionist and his brother was Confederate General John Sappington Marmaduke.
