The Richmond Howitzers fired their cannons at the conclusion of the ceremony.
Shown are the additions to the main monument, which was dedicated in 2007.
Shown is Camp Adjutant John Zock displaying the South Carolina Sovereignty Flag. It has 15 stars representing 15 southern states. One of them is for Delaware, which did, not seceded.
Sally DeBarza, a direct descendant of Maj. Moses Purnell Handy and President of the Isaac W.K. Handy Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, thanks the Delaware Grays for memorializing her ancestors on the new monuments.
The Delaware Grays dedicated an addition to the Confederate Veterans Monument in a ceremony held at the Marvel Carriage Museum in Georgetown April 30.
The names of 16 veterans and 15 citizens who assisted the confederate soldiers were added to the 71 names of Delaware Confederate Army Veterans Monument.
Hours of research from historical censuses, the National Archives and old Muster rolls confirmed the individuals on the monument were from Delaware.
