Bob O’Brien will present his research on the 20th Connecticut Regiment including details of Soldier George W. Warner who lost both arms in battle. As you view the photo with this event listing, please note that this is an enlargement of the original center section of photograph showing 20th Connecticut Regiment 1885 reunion at Gettysburg for the dedication of regiment monument on Culp’s Hill. [In the orange circle] Col. William B. Wooster, wearing straw hat, stands right. George W. Warner of Bethany, who lost both arms in battle, is seated on the rock. When the dedication ceremony began, the monument was covered with an American flag. It was later raised by means of a rope running through a tackle block attached to a nearby pole. The other end of the rope was wrapped around Warner’s body, and he raised the flag by walking away from the rock. Bob O'Brien will go into some depth about this Regiment.
