GDG- 24 MI flanks

[Steven Floyd]

Jim,

 

I have no info for 24 MI flank markers.  I have looked on the ground and not seen any.  Roy Frampton's book on ""Inscriptions & Locations of the  G'Burg  Battlefield Memorials" is still the best source for monument placement info, altho it does have some errors and omissions.  He doesn't show anything for 24 MI.

 

Other MI regiments do have flank markers - 1, 3, 4, 7, 16 and 9th Lt. Artillery.  Only 5 and 24 MI don't have flank markers for MI regiments.

 

Iron Brigade markers on Culp's Hill include 24 MI, also 2, 6 and 7 WI as well as Co. F, 2 WI.

 

BTW, if anyone has a copy of Frampton's book for sale, or knows where to get one, please let me know.  It is hard to find.  Thanks.

 

Steve

 

 

 

On a HACC tour, the question came up about flank markers for the 24th MI in Herbst's woods. We could not find any. Do you have any information about them? There are aditional markers for the brigade on the north face of Culp's Hill, and flank markers for other IB units, but not for them.
Thank you.
Jim
