Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 21, 2009
Caption: 27th Pennsylvania Infantry Position
Additional Description: Flank markers for the 27th Pennsylvania stand on either side of the monument, along the stone wall. The 27th was initially posted in what is today the National Cemetery. As the Confederates attacked East Cemetery Hill in the evening of July 2, the regiment moved with the brigade to a position here to reinforce the pressed Federal forces. Somewhat contrary to the inscription on the monument.
