Inscription on the 2nd Massachusetts Monument at Gettysburg

[front]
From the hill behind this monument on
the morning of July 3, 1863, the
2nd Massachusetts Infantry made an assault upon the Confederate
troops in the works at the base of Culp's
Hill opposite. The Regiment carried to
the charge 22 officers, and 294 enlisted
men. It lost 4 officers and 41 enlisted
men, killed and mortally wounded and 6
officers and 84 enlisted men wounded.
To perpetuate the honored memories of
that hour the survivors of the Regiment
have raised this stone, 1879.
