Division Headquarters is making every effort to make the 145th Gettysburg National Event
as rewarding as possible for our troops. Commanders are awaiting the opportunity to begin registration.
All elements of our command will register through Division Headquarters. As previously stated, there will
be a limited number of troops allowed to recreate Early’s march in town. Our Division has first option to
fill these ranks. The number of troops we register will determine our involvement and limit. Once our
registration is completed and our numbers known, the remaining slots will be open to others outside our
Division. This historical event will take place on Thursday July 3rd and the march will be easy. It is less
than one (1) mile in length, with an extended break at the Courthouse to deliver the demands and parole the
prisoners. A precise circular will be published in due time which will detail this activity and provide
specific instructions.
'LUHFWLYH
The 145th Gettysburg Anniversary Event fee is currently $15.00 thru December 31.
An additional honorarium of $5.00 is necessary to cover expenses relating to the march and other operating
cost. The Division will provide support of wagons for water in the field and other hauling duties. This
brings the total fee to $20.00 each. Only MILITARY registration will be handled by Division
Headquarters. All others must register directly with the Gettysburg Event.
5HJLVWUDWLRQ $FFRXQWLQJ Division HQ is requesting that registration be submitted in company grouping. It is
understood that each company may have several submittals. It is further requested that only one check
accompany each list sent to Division HQ. Brigade and Battalion commanders will be kept appraised of the
registration progress. A final listing of those registered will be made available to each battalion
commander.
(QOLVWPHQW It is essential that all military elements of this Division and their invited guests register
through Division Headquarters. An enlistment form is attached for information needed on each soldier.
Most commanders already have this data on hand. Division HQ will be in communication with each
Brigade and Battalion Commander to facilitate the process. It is imperative that registration begin
immediately. Headquarters will submit the first batch to the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee on
December 1, and each week following.

Frock Coat and Trousers for Sale. I am asking for $200 for the set. Frock Coat is almost entirely handdone.
It is a copy of the Louisiana Frock in Echoes of Glory, but with Federal Service Buttons instead of
Louisiana Pelicans. Handdone quilting in the breast, serviceable pockets in the tail, and hand applied black
tape trim. My contact info is rglock1865@bellsouth.net and my cell phone number is: 1-334-796-5512.
