I am assuming they are the same regiment, but is it the 20th NC that has the "newer" monument almost in the middle of the Iron Brigade's line on the 1st day, and at the Wall in the center of the Union line on the 3rd day (and yes, of the 2nd day)? Other than Iverson's Brigade, who else had a large percentage of NC units? I know the 20th NC (I think anyway), but whose Brigade, Division were they with? ThanksAndy<<<
