Burial of the dead
December 15, 1862
From "War Memories" catalog: After the battle the dead are gathered and buried. Sometimes pine boxes were procured and single graves were made, with a head-board giving the name, company, and regiment, if it could be ascertained. This view was at Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 15, 1862, and shows burial detail employed in burying the Union dead. This burial detail is under a flag of truce, as the Rebels hold this field.
