    1. [KYWBTSVETS] AFTERMATH OF GETTYSBURG
    2. THOUSANDS OF MEN IN BOTH ARMIES LIE WOUNDED JULY FOURTH, 1863 Once the Battle for Gettysburg had ended, there were devastating losses for the Army of the Potomac as well as the Army of North- ern Virginia. Thousands had died and thousands lie wounded every where on this vast battlefield on the 4th of July in 1863. The casualty lists for the three day encounter in Gettysburg, is terrible for the both nations. The Confederate Army reports 3903 dead, 18,735 injured and 5424 missing out of 75,000 men engaged. The federal losses are 3155 dead, 14,529 wounded with 5365 miss- ing. Thousands of soldiers have their lives altered for years to come with memories of horrific sights with them to their deaths. I had four ancestors who were with the Army of Northern Viriginia as they began withdrawing from this bloody battlefield. IF YOU HAVE AN ANCESTOR or KNOW OF A SOLDIER WHO DIED during this bitter battle, PLEASE SHARE IT WITH OUR LIST. glenn INF George Phipps Belcher INF William Mac Henry Belcher CAV George Scott Bolin CAV Jesse Isaac Bolin
