Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 17, 2007
Caption: The Division on the High Ground
Additional Description: Willcox's Division advanced up to the high ground on both sides of what is today the Burnside Bridge Road. Looking south in this photo from the tablet location, the road leading up the high ground in the distance is Branch Avenue. The near most monuments are for the 45th and 100th Pennsylvania Infantry, both regiments from Welsh's Brigade of Willcox's Division. This photo was taken at around 3:46 p.m. (roughly about the time of the day that Willcox's Division advanced out of the low ground to the left of the photo) on the 145th anniversary of the battle.
