Grand Army of the Republic veterans were prominent in all patriotic celebrations, for many years walking in parades in full dress uniform. By 1919, most were deservedly chauffeured in the nicest cars the town could offer. The gent in the first car fought at the battles of Pittsburgh Heights, Seven Pines, and Appomattox. We wonder if there were any veterans still living in 1919 from the Battle of Marye’s Heights where Calais lost Captain Haycock and Frank Holmes and had so many others killed and wounded.
