Willie Jett was in the 9th Virginia for 13 days from point of enlistment until he was gutshot by a Yankee with a shotgun, probably in his first action. Jett was wounded while helping to defeat the Wilson-Kautz raid in 1864, and was only 17 when wounded. He later served in Mosby's Command and was captured in April 1865 while on his way home.
