(6-05) Cold Harbor National
Cemetery
The 8th New York Heavy Artillery Regiment Monument erected in 1909 by the
State of New York at Cold Harbor National Cemetery lists 219 names of the
dead from this regiment. It is located along the side of the wall toward
the private property between the National Park and Veterans Administration
lands at Cold Harbor, Virginia. Lt. General Ulysses S. "Butcher" Grant's
strategy lead to many combat losses which decimated infantry regiments and
resulted in heavy artillery units being used as infantry to serve in
bloody assaults on Confederate fixed positions |
