These are the same men who were identified on an earlier photo in this series as members of the 12th Pennsylvania Volunteers.

Wystan: Thanks for spotting this was the same group. We'll add this info. to the description next time we update.

This is the 106th. As I've noted earlier, the man holding the flag is Giles Coons. The man behind him is his wife's brother and my Great Great grandfather John Rockwell. An original photo not seen here hangs in my fathers hallway.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This Wikipedia article has a photo of the Gettysburg memorial to Meade: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Meade

An equestrian portrait of Major General George Gordon Meade looking out over the battlefield at Gettysburg where the Union army under his direction won one of its greatest battles, defeating Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He holds a pair of binoculars in his right hand and his hat in his left hand. A sword hangs from the left side of his saddle. The horse featured is Meade's favorite horse, Old Baldy. This photograph, by William H. Tipton, appears to have been made before a bronze plaque was attached to the right side of the base (although a bronze plaque on the front of the base appears to be present). Other photographs taken of veterans at the monument show the plaque in place at the time of the Great Reunion. A photograph of the model for the Meade statue was also made by Tipton. The statue was sculptured in 1895 by Henry K. Bush-Brown, (1857-1935), and the monument cost $37,500. The statue stands across the battlefield from the statue of General Robert E. Lee. – Compiled: SIRS, Gettysburg National Military Park William H. Tipton (photographer) (1850–1929) was a noted American photographer of the second half of the 19th Century, most noted for his extensive early photography of the Gettysburg Battlefield and the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
