Some random footage from the Battle of Gettysburg reunion during the 75th anniversary of the conflict, filmed in 1938. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought during the USA's Civil War, from 1-3 July, 1863. The veterans shown here were from the war in general, not specifically present at the Battle of Gettysburg; that battle, seen as the most important single one during the war, was simply used as the rallying point for a general final reunion of the veterans, Union and Confederate.
