Tritium got it, quartermasters were (and still are) the backbone of armies. Being the quartermaster meant he was personally accountable for food/ammo/uniforms... basically everything an army could need.
In England and Canada the US Revolutionary War was called a civil war, and he fought on the US side as the Continental army.
