Theme Day: Lost arm

The Daily Photo Community shares a theme day  the first of each month. October’s theme is cemeteries and tombstones.

The above inscription, found in Silverbrook Cemetery, reads in part, “Clifton A. Reed, June 5, 1845 to Nov. 10, 1924. Lost his right arm in the Battle of Hawes Shop, May 28, 1864.” I looked up Battle of Hawes Shop on Wikipedia. It says this battle was fought in Hanover County, Virginia, between the armies of U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. “It was the second significant cavalry engagement of the 1864 campaign and one of the bloodiest of the war.”

Please check out the other Daily Photo Blogs celebrating this theme day.
