A window dedicated to the gallant men of the twelfth
Massachussetts who suffered greatly at Antietam in
September, 1862
From the regimental:
"At nine a.m., the Twelfth was ordered to leave the field.
It came out with thirty-two under its colors, and
retired in good order, having lost forty-seven killed
and two hundred six wounded (twenty-three of them
mortally), and thirty missing, out of three hundred
and forty (of which sixty six were on provost duty)
(i.e. 90%)."
This is one of two windows damaged from neglect and
lack of funding for proper care!
