Gettysburg Chronicles Part 8, Cold Steel, July 3, 1863 (1 Viewer)

Following the Confederate artillery bombardment, Lt Cushing's two remaining 3 inch ordnance rifles are moved up to within 10 feet of the stone wall. Loaded with double canister, they wait for the approaching Rebs.


Having crossed the deadly road, Garnett and Armistead's brigades advance to the stone wall in front of the copse of trees.

The guns cut a swath through the approaching ranks.



The guns fall silent having fired the last rounds. Seizing the opportunity, Gen'l Lewis Armistead calls to his men "Give 'em the cold steel boys" and crosses the stone wall.

The 69th Pennsylvania, an Irish Regiment, pours a deadly fire into Garnett's Virginia Regiments from behind the stone wall in front of the copse of trees. They pile fence rails on the fence for added protection.

The 20th Massachusetts advance to the 69th's flank to fill a gap in the Union line.

Looks great Chris, very well done. I like how you've mixed Britains with First Legion in this diorama. A lot of action going on, it has a nice flow to it, nicely laid out and presented, keep up the great work.

Many thanks for the kind remarks and like votes guys. A pleasure to hear from folks who have put out some great ACW dios here. As mentioned, the flags are from John Sanheim. Particularly plsd to be able to pick up flags of the 69th PA and 20th Mass. They compliment those of WB and one from Frontline. Chris
