My brother, Ben Murray, in the red hat, helps fire the cannon with the 4th US Artillery during a civil war reenactment in Funkstown, MD.

Ben and my dad, Dale Murray, who worked with The United States Christian Commission, would often assist the 4th US Artillery during the battle portions of the events they attended.

The Second Battle of Funkstown (more commonly simply referred to as the Battle of Funkstown) took place near Funkstown, Maryland, on July 10, 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign of the American Civil War. Union forces of the Army of the Potomac attacked the rear guard of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia during its retreat from Pennsylvania following the Battle of Gettysburg.
