 This piece was commissioned by an admirer of Randy Groves' works. The collector had just returned from the Gettysburg battlefield and was impressed with the area of Pickett's Charge. His guide had told of the number of Confederates shot down while trying to get over the fence at the Emmitsburg Road.
The piece depicts a wounded Confederate flag-bearer at the fence. His comrade has propped his musket against the fence and is reaching to take the shot-torn flag as he begins to climb
The figures are carved in Butternut and the fence is Cedar constructed in the way of farmers of the period. All are mounted on a Walnut base with a brass title plaque.
