Lt. Col. Charles Randall: This
portrait came from Ellen Lowe. She sent a request for information regarding
Col. Randall and explained that she had this portrait. She was nice enough to have
it scanned and sent a copy for everyone to share. It is
interesting to note that it appears his arm is bandaged. He was shot in the arm and
lung at Gettysburg, so the bandages seen here may be due to those injuries. |

This is a picture of Color Sergeant William
Lilly mending the flag standard at Culp's Hill during the battle of Gettysburg.
The staff had been shot and broken by enemy gun fire. Sgt. Lilly jumped over
the breastworks, grabbed the flag, and returned to a position behind the others. He
mended the flag with wood from a cracker box and straps from a knapsack. This picture is cast in bronze on the
regiment's monument on Culp's Hill
at
Gettysburg and on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Syracuse.
Read about the efforts to preserve
the flag today. |
