In case you missed it:
Friday, June 15th 29 of our Volunteers enjoyed a walking tour of the Irish Brigade at Gettysburg led by Licensed Battlefield Guide John Fitzpatrick. This tour lasted almost 3 hours and covered the entire area  of the Irish Brigade, from near the Pennsylvania Monument, we "marched" to the Wheatfield and then the Stony Hill where the Irish Monument is located.
John covered pretty much everything you would ever want to know about the Irish Brigade and their role at Gettysburg.
It would be fair to say that everyone had a great time and the weather was fantastic

Enjoy the pics below & stay tuned for the July Volunteer Tour

Thanks
