Leaving Mcclure Militia Sketches Southwark
EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, dating back to approximately 1862, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Company B, 8th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, also known as the Old Southwark Guard. The image was captured after an exhausting night following their departure from Camp McClure. Soldiers are depicted standing in a residential street and sitting against a fence along the roadside, taking a much-needed rest. Some groups have gathered around small campfires, adding warmth and light to the scene. The Old Southwark Guard, a part of the Union Army during the American Civil War, was a militia company from the Southwark neighborhood of Philadelphia. This sketch provides a poignant reminder of the human side of war, revealing the camaraderie and resilience of these soldiers during their time away from the battlefield. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos of war. The soldiers' expressions convey a mix of exhaustion, relief, and camaraderie as they take a brief moment to unwind and connect with one another. The simple pleasures of a campfire and a moment's rest serve as a reminder of the importance of human connection, even in the most challenging of circumstances. This evocative sketch provides a unique and valuable historical record of the experiences of Company B, 8th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, and offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave men during their service in the Civil War.
