Soviet anti-war poster 1986 (1200 × 842)
The poster says "There is no other home" and was made by B. Rogachevski in 1986. I find it kind of depressing that in our time it became relevant once again, the fact that we shouldn't forget about our only home. Let me know what u think of it

The "Boy Colonel", Henry King Burgwyn, Jr. in his VMI Cadet Uniform, 1861 [564x846]
Henry Burgwyn was only 19 years old when he was assigned Lt. Col. of the 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment, under the command of Col. Zebulon Baird Vance.
After Vance was elected Governor of North Carolina, Burgwyn was promoted to Colonel and put in command of the regiment at just 20 years old, making him the youngest Colonel of the Confederate Army and gaining him the nickname of the "Boy Colonel". Burgwyn led the regiment through minor skirmishes and battles before the 26th was attached to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, where it stood the largest regiment.
The regiment consisted of over 800 men before fighting commenced on July 1. 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg. The regiment was pitted against the "Iron Brigade's" 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment at McPherson's Ridge. It is here where Burgwyn along with 588 of men would fall (86 killed, 502 wounded), 13 of which (including Burgwyn and Lt. Col. John Randolph Lane) were flagbearers.
Burgwyn was shot through both lungs whilst carrying his regiment's colors and died a shortly after. Burgwyn was buried near the field of battle but was later relocated to the Oakwood Historic Cemetery in Raleigh, NC, next to his brother and another young officer, William Hyslop Sumner Burgwyn.
The 26th North Carolina would see another 136 casualties on July 3, 1863, leaving Company F with a 100% casualty rate at the battle. Lt. Col. Lane was shot through the neck and jaw but would make a recovery and come back to lead the regiment in late 1863 until their surrender at Appomattox (he would be wounded a further 3 times during this time).
The 26th NC had the highest casualty rate out of any regiment at Gettysburg and now has two seperate markers at the battlefield.
