Additional Description: Just to the east of the marker is a cluster of flank markers. These illustrate one of the challenges to understanding the fighting on Stony Hill. On the left is the right flank marker for the 118th Pennsylvania. In the center is the right flank marker for Tilton's Brigade, with the 118th indicated as the right most unit. And on the right is the right flank marker for the 140th Pennsylvania. Clearly not all units were here at the same time, however. The 118th Pennsylvania occupied this location on July 2 from about 5:20 p.m. until withdrawn about 5:45 p.m. The 140th Pennsylvania moved into this location around 6 p.m., holding it for about an hour before forced back by the last Confederate push through the Wheatfield sector.
