2ndACR -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 2:33:30 PM)
Ah, the cannons tell you it is not Okinawa......they look to be 12lb Napoleons.......I would say definatly US Civil War, but there are alot of those battlefields around.

Mundy -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 2:36:53 PM)
Definitely Gettysburg. I was there last April. One day isn't enough... M-

John Lansford -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 4:14:38 PM)
Looks like Gettysburg, between Cemetary Ridge and Little Round Top, somewhere near the Peach Orchard.

Chickenboy -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 5:33:58 PM)
So much of this PA/MD farm country is difficult to differentiate to these old eyes. I'll say Antietam, just to be different. It certainly looks to be US Civil War mid-Atlantic area...

John Lansford -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 6:48:19 PM)
I suppose it could be Antietam, particularly if that's a Confederate battery facing towards the cornfield. The fairly new buildings on the far right don't fit into anything I remember from Gettysburg, but at Antietam the cornfield and surrounding area is still privately owned (but has an agreement with the NPS to keep growing corn there).

ckammp -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 7:06:53 PM)
IIRC, Gettysburg has monuments everywhere, marking the locations of both Union and Confederate units. I'm not sure it is possible to take a picture of the battlefield without getting at least one monument in the picture, so I don't believe this is a picture of Gettysburg. Doesn't really look right for Antietam, either.

fabertong, from Bristol, UK,..... Waterloo? [;)]

Manassas

Mynok -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 9:58:41 PM)
I'm going to guess Antietam as well, because Gettysburg has more hills in the area than that shows. I doubt Waterloo because the cannon on the left looks like a 3" rifle not a bronze napoleon like the other two.

SpeakerToSeafood -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 10:00:01 PM)
It looks too open for a Virginia or a Western battlefield. It could be Gettysburg but from the ground, I am not sure. The Peach Orchard was on a knoll, and faced a ridge that I can't see here. But I can't think of any other Eastern CW battlefield with this kind of open configuration, so I'll have to go with somewhere on the 3rd Corps front at Gettysburg.

LST Express -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 10:05:58 PM)
I don't think its gettysburg or antietam, but it's been awhile since i was at either.

WITPPL -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 10:08:09 PM)
Defianetly an ACW battlefield. Fence! there were nothing like this in Europe. Might be anything. Bull Run, Antientam, Gettysburg or a 100 of different other places. Kute kids!

Canoerebel -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 10:14:45 PM)
The groundcover is lespedeza, a plant common in the eastern US (or at least the southeastern US). This could be Chickamauga or Stones River (Murfreesboro). I don't think it's Manassas nor the cornfield at Antietam (I think you'd see the sunken road there or some of the monuments). Gettysburg is a possibility.

Wirraway_Ace -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 10:43:35 PM)
Looks like the forward slope of Monte Saint Jean. Split rail fences are common to that part of Belgium. As I recall from some of the latest research on the battle, it was the split rail fences that broke up Ney's charge, not the squares deployed reverse slope. The red aluminum buildings are part of the Hougomont farm complex... [:D]

Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/13/2010 11:36:36 PM)
antietam

bradfordkay -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 12:39:28 AM)
I'm guessing that it is either Sharpsburg (Antietam) or Murfreesboro (Stones River). I put the alternate names in there for those of you who only speak Yankee...

Mynok -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 3:20:38 AM)
The 3" rifle definitely indicates ACW to me. Murfreesboro sounds reasonable as well since that is a flat part of Tennessee.

Fishbed -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 4:07:59 AM)
Farms with red walls = not Europe ;)

sfbaytf -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 4:14:42 AM)
Don't know, but you can tell by the cannons its probably from the Civil War. I would guess those are Napoleons. Then again the OP is from England so it could be from Waterloo-La Haute St or Hugonot farm...

wwengr -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 4:47:32 AM)
You are at Antietam National Battlefield near Sharpsburg, MD. More precisely, you are walking in the field just to the East of the Visitor Center about 30 to 40 meters. The camera view and your direction of travel is approximately North by Northeast. Judging by the state of the grass and the humidity generating haze, I would guess that it is July.

Then again the OP is from England so it could be from Waterloo-La Haute St or Hugonot farm... The two to the right are bronze napoleons. They are green from the copper. The far left gun is a 3" rifle (iron, not bronze). Definitely ACW not Boney times. wwengr's pic pretty well settles it IMO.

Chickenboy -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 5:14:49 AM)
Woot for me! First one to say Antietam...[sm=00000946.gif] Ummm....it is Antietam, isn't it Faber?

Ron Saueracker -> RE: Name the battlefield.... (1/14/2010 5:20:38 AM)
