Grand Army of the Republic Reunion

Due to the detailed research of John Horrighs, we have been able to identify several members of the Fifth Iowa Infantry who gathered for this regimental reunion photograph at a meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Since a number of the men pictured are definitely veterans of the regiment, it is presumed that the remainder also served with the Fifth Iowa. If you are able to identify any of the remaining soldiers, please notify the "headquarters" of the Fifth Iowa Volunteer Infantry.

The identifications made above are due to the kind assistance of John F. Horrighs, who has spent many years studying the history of the "Fighting Fifth." The Fosdick brothers were identified by their descendants.
