Taken: April 6, 2008
Caption: 1st Company (Squires') Position
Additional Description: During most of the 16th and 17th, Squire's Battery maintained a position near what is today the northeast corner of the National Cemetery. Looking over the wall of the cemetery, to the east down Boonsboro Pike (running from the far left into the distance), the positions held by Federal horse artillery are visible. Those positions ran from the open ground just left of center in the distance, to the south of the pike. Looking over Rodman Avenue (running left to right with the snake rail fence in the center frame), is the high ground used by the 2nd and 10th U.S. Regulars. Their advance caused the relocation of Squires' guns.
