This photograph was found in the archives of Canney Camp #5, and was labeled "State Officers 1946 (approx), Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War". Half of the men were named, as follows:
Front row:
unk, unk, Homer Atkins Jr., Kenneth Wheeler, unk, Andrew Crown
Back row:
Warren Brown, Homer Atkins Sr., Jackson Carr, unk, unk, unk

The attached note also mentioned that Atkins Jr was Commander and Wheeler was Vice-Comm in the photo. On a list of Department Commanders, Homer Atkins Jr held that position in 1948. Kenneth Wheeler, in an article printed in the Hillsborough Messenger on 18 Nov, 1948 (pg 1), was SVC at this time. He would be elected Commander the following year.

Homer L. Atkins Sr. and his son, Homer L. Atkins, Jr. were both from Camp 4 in Troy. The father held the top Department seat in 1943 and in 1950, while his son led the New Hampshire Brothers only in 1948.

Kenneth T. Wheeler belonged to Camp 38 in Milford, and was DC in 1949 and 1976. His wife, Emma (Yeaton) Wheeler, was the Dep't President of the Auxiliary in '49.

Andrew Crown was perhaps the man from Troy, NH, a WWI veteran, though newspaper searches failed to find anything about him in relation to the SUVCW. Maybe the photo was mislabeled, and this is actually Andrew J Crooker of Hillsborough? He was a Son, and held many officer positions in the Thomas Carr Camp. He was elected DC in 1957, dying the following April.

Jackson Crooker Carr was a Hillsborough man, and belonged to Camp 15. He was Department Secretary-Treasurer in 1948. He served as DC in 1922.

Warren C. Brown of Troy was a long time member of the Sons. In 1902, when the Thomas M. Carr Camp, No. 15, was organized, he was serving as Department Secretary. In 1904, he was Commander.  

​Sadly, this still leaves six men in the above photo unnamed. Hopefully, a record of the 1948 proceedings of the annual encampment can be found, and the other officers can be identified.

The following is the program distributed for the dedication of the Soldiers' Monument in Charlestown, New Hampshire, which took place on Friday, October 6th, 1911.

​A Monument Association had been formed years prior, to raise funds for the monument. It was made of Barre granite, and stood 14.5 feet high. A white granite statue of a soldier at parade rest stands atop it, with bronze tablets on two sides, listing the names of the 144 men accredited to the town during the Civil War. The GAR badge adorns the front tablet. 

Three pages in the booklet contain the names of those men who enlisted for, or were credited to, Charlestown. As they were not listed in alphabetical order, they have been reorganized here as follows:

The Charlestown, NH Soldiers' Monument is located on the corner of Depot Street and Rt 12A, on the ground of the Charlestown Historical Society.

The JOHN J. HANSON Camp, No. 30, Sons of Veterans, was formed in Newmarket, NH in the summer of 1907. 25 charter members gathered at the GAR Hall in June, where they planned instituting a camp in town. On Tuesday, the 2nd of July, they met under the guidance of the NH Division Commander, Samuel S. Smith of Exeter, to elect officers.

​The following article ran in the Newmarket Advertiser, Friday, 5 July, 1907 (pg 5):

They named their camp after Sgt John J Hanson, who had served during the Civil War in Co. D, 15th New Hampshire Infantry. He was later captain of the "Newmarket Guards", a company of State Militia. He was a GAR member, being the first commander of the George A Gay Post #18, in Newmarket. He died in Manchester, NH in 1899.

​The newly elected officers were:
- Commander Franklin A Brackett - himself a Civil War veteran, serving in the Martin Guards (Jul-Sept '64) and 1st NH Hvy Art (Sept '64 - Jun 65), he was the son of David Brackett of Co E, 13th NH 
- SVC Albert O. Smith, grandson of Cpl Orsamus T Smith, Co E, 13th NH Inf
- JVC, James T. Barrett, son of John Barrett (Co C, 6th NH)
- Sec, Herbert F. Davis, son of David O. (Co D, 2nd NH; Co F, 5th NH)
