Wounded soldiers under trees, Marye’s Heights, Fredericksburg,
after the battle of Spotsylvania, 1864

ARC Identifier: 524768

Describe:This picture was taken by Mathew Brady. In this picture, we can see the weather is very well with sunshine, so, many wounded soldiers are taking a rest under the trees. Some are sitting on the grass or chairs, some are lying down, and some have stood. Most of them were injured, because we can see the injured arm, leg or other injured places were bound by bandage. They all looks very tired because they are frowning.

The effect on the people who saw it: They should feel war is a bad thing. They will think about those people who are those soldiers’ relatives and friends, they must be worried for them every day. If they knew them injured, they must be very sad.

The effect on me: I admire them for their courage. While I very much sympathy for them, I hope that the war will soon be over and they are still alive when the war finished.

Describe: This picture came from Mathew Brady.In this picture, we can a low stone wall which was built by soldiers to resist enemy.     There is a trench next to the wall which was the place to protect soldiers. In the trench some dead soldiers are lying in disorder. Their guns, hats, clothes and canteens were thrown all over the floor.

The effect on the people who saw it: This picture shows a sad and dreary view. The people who saw it should feel sympathy for those dead people. They will be proud for their activity because they sacrificed their lives to stick their faith.

The effect on me: I felt very sad and I knew the war is very cruel.I hope there is no any war in the world.
