On Sunday, the 9th of June, 2019, the town of Richmond, New Hampshire held a dedication for its newly installed monument to honor their Civil War soldiers. The names of 79 men, and the regiments they belonged to, are inscribed on the plaque, with twenty-seven of them marked as having died during their service.

During the afternoon ceremony, the names of every man on the memorial was read, with the ringing of a bell following each one. The 6th NH Infantry, acting as honor guard for the event, closed the ceremony by firing several volleys.

The following are all of the names on the monument. Though the plaque has three columns for the inscriptions, spacing on this blog page wouldn't allow the same set-up. Here are the Richmond, NH soldiers of the War of the Rebellion:
