ACW Generals (2)


Following up from last weeks post, I've added the final three Union commanders for the American Civil War collection. 


The first three were accompanied by colonels, this time they are accompanied by various infantrymen from the American Civil War Union Infantry command frame. 

These represent Major-General George Sykes, Major-General Winfield S. Hancock and Major-General Oliver Otis Howard.

Major-General George Sykes

George Sykes commanded V Corps at Gettysburg, assuming command just a few days before the battle. I've added a officer and drummer to complete the vignette.

Major-General Winfield S. Hancock

Winfield Scott Hancock commanded the left wing of the Union army at the Battle of Gettysburg and was in command of the Union troops facing Pickett's charge.  I've accompanied him with a bugler from the Union infantry set.

Oliver Otis Howard "Old Prayer Book" lost his right arm at the Battle of Seven Pines but continued to command through the war and commanded XI Corps at Gettysburg.
