Confederate Napoleon at Petersburg National Battlefield, Battery Five
Confederate 12-Pounder Napoleon at Battery Number 5 at Petersburg National Battlefield
This Confederate 12-Pounder Napoleon may be seen at Battery 5 at Petersburg National Battlefield. A copy of the registry in my possession says that Augusta Number 22 (cast in 1863) was at the battery circa 2000. Is this the same Napoleon? I'm afraid I struggle to read the trunnions in these photos. If it is the same Napoleon, it was cast at Augusta Foundry in Augusta, Georgia.
If you have been able to read the markings on this Napoleon better than I can, please let me know! My email is: santee1821@gmail.com
