I’m not sure he deserted the army. I think one of the records might indicate that he finished on the 27th of February and rejoined on the 28th.
Maybe because of his age he couldn’t enlist for a longer period of time initially.
Yes, I know he’s the same man. It’s just the connection between Maine and Hull/England that would be lovely to work out.
It’s intriguing, isn’t it?

I am trying to clarify these military records for myself really.
Here is one that I posted – dated Feb 1862
He is 18 yrs and a labourer.

The second enlistment posted by Willsy is dated Feb 1864, the day after his discharge.
He is still 18 yrs old and looks to be a Seaman. The signature is same/similar  and birthplace is the same, so presumably it is the same George M Green.

The pension card we saw earlier shows England but the pension record on Fold3 indicates:
Event Type: Pension
Event Date: 18th Oct 1921
Event Place: Maine, United States
File Name   1522255
Shipping Company   B
This may mean that his birth/1st enlistment and regiment was Maine but it would be good to sort that.

Maurice,
This pension reference is available on fold three. Is this the one that your friend has accessed – October 1921.
It says ‘Event Place Maine, United States.’

From online searching, it looks as though the Sailors Home was in Salthouse Lane.

The muster roll also shows 15th MaineRegiment and that his father, William, gives consent.
Here is the 1850 census  which I also mentioned earlier.

I posted a link to another document – muster roll - which has more detail and that he was born in Phippsburg.

So does this mean that neither of the two George M Greens in those pension indexes is your George.
