Charge
of the Irish Brigade
Battle of Fredericksburg
Virginia
December 13th, 1862
This painting
depicts the brave charge of the 28th Massachusetts Regiment
of the hard fighting Irish Brigade as they assault Marye's
Heights just outside the town of Fredericksburg Virginia.
The 28th Massachusetts being the newcomers to the brigade
was the only regiment to carry the green silk embroidered
Irish flag with harp and cloud burst made by Tiffany and Company
of New York City. The green flags of the New York regiments
of the brigade had been sent home and were in the process
of being replaced by new ones which had not yet arrived. The
men of the Irish Brigade are shown in this gorgeous oil painting
moving forward at right shoulder shift in the face of the
most intense Confederate artillery and musket fire yet seen
in war; caps adorned with green Virginia Boxwood shouting
"Faugh-a-Ballagh!" which means "Clear the Way"
in Gaelic. This beautiful painting immortalizes the valor
of that famous charge.
