In the foreground are the well-tended grounds of the hospital including a flagpole flying the hospital "H" flag with the Greek cross insignia of the VI Corps all surrounded by a wooden fence and trimmed hedge. A complex of semi-permanent tents dominates the majority of the image with two men in uniform in conversation to the left of the tents. In the background are two covered ambulance wagons decorated with medical crosses; trees and small houses are visible further in the background. <br> <br> The VI Army Corps was created in 1862 and assigned to the Army of the Potomac although in 1864 it was temporarily assigned to the Army of the Shenandoah under the command of Maj. Gen. James B. Ricketts. Although the VI Corps faced heavy fighting throughout the Civil War 1864 was particularly violent - this field hospital was undoubtedly packed throughout the year. In the wake of the Battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania during the Overland Campaign to the close fighting near Mule Shoe also known as the "Bloody Angle" the assault at Cold Harbor and the Shenandoah Valley campaigns the VI Corps saw nearly two-thirds of its 24000 soldiers killed or wounded. In December 1864 the VI Corps returned to the Army of the Potomac and in April 1865 played an important role in the final assault on the fortifications of Petersburg. unknown books
