The 12th Illinois Cavalry monument stands on the Gettysburg battlefield, and this view pairs the granite marker with a portrait of an officer set into the image as an inset. Illinois cavalry units fought in the area during the battle of July 1863, and regimental monuments like this one were placed by veterans to mark where their men had served. The inset portrait draws attention to the individual soldier behind the unit's story, a common feature of Gettysburg memorials that connected the battlefield's landscape to the people who fought there.
