Today I found mention that the 79th P.V.I.(Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry) has a monument dedicated to them at Chickamauga and at Chattanooga. I am sorry, but I failed to take note of the particular site that I found that info. I would like to know if either of these monuments have the names of the enlisted men engraved on them. I am looking for a civil war monument that would have my great great grandfather Joseph S. Rice and his brother Daniel Rice's name on it. They were in Company C. Thanks, Bob Rice from Lancaster County, PA

Bob, Here is a question from my vast store of ignorance. I see that the 79th had 17 officers and 350 men in action at Chickamauga. "it lost 16 killed, 66 wounded and 47 missing." Would a monument be likely to have inscribed all 367 men? Was that done on many other monuments? I haven't been to a battlefield in a long time and can't remember what most monuments contained.
