The title points to a church tied to soldiers, a connection that makes sense in a town that spent much of early July 1863 in the path of the Battle of Gettysburg. Churches and other large buildings in the borough were pressed into service as field hospitals and shelters for the wounded in the days after the fighting, and many local congregations kept up their services for visiting troops during the war. The record does not say which building is shown, so the exact history of this structure is best checked against the gallery's notes or local sources. Still, it stands as a reminder of how the town's civic and religious spaces were changed by the battle.
