Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: November 11, 2008
Caption: The Regiment's View of the Battle
Additional Description: Looking west from the monument location. The 95th remained in reserve through most of July 3rd. In the distance to the left are the monuments along Ayres Avenue in the Wheatfield, representing elements of the Pennsylvania Reserve Regiments of Third Division (Crawford), Fifth Corps. In the center and extending to the right of the road is another line of monuments. The these represent Wheaton's Brigade in their advanced position. Clearly the low number of casualties in the 95th Pennsylvania was due largely to the reserve position held well behind the main line.
