I used the sanded away action from Atomic Cupcake on the picture to rough up the edges a bit. The swirls were created with a Photoshop brush.

Monument Inscription:

Total enrollment, 1,325 officers and men. Killed in action, 8 officers, 113 men; died of wounds, 4 officers, 50 men; died of disease, 1 officer, 95 men – total, 273. Participated in 53 skirmishes and general engagements from Bull Run, VA., July 21, 1861, to Appomattox, Va., April 9, 1865. This monument marks the position held by the regiment July 2, 1863; present for duty, 27 officers, 55 men; missing, 1 officer, 75 men –total, 165. Col. Harrison H. Jeffords fell, mortally wounded, at this point, thrust through by a bayonet in recapturing the colors of his regiment.

“From his bosom that heaved, the last torrent was streaming,
And pale was his visage, deep marked with a scar,
And dim was that eye, once expressively beaming
That melted in love and kindled in war.”
