The sales of our painting are going well but many have asked for an image other than our word description. Included above is an image of our finished painting. Prints are scheduled to start shipping towards the end of June 2010. 

Description of painting

Our painting shows MG William T. Sherman, who we would call today the theater commander, standing next to his communications "node." The Signal station is at Cheves's Rice Mill on the Ogeechee river across from Ft McAlister outside of Savannah, GA. At the forefront is MG Sherman and MG Howard in final preparations for the land attack on Ft McAlister, the last major battle of the Savannah Campaign. He has directed that CPT James McClintock, his Signal Officer, (with long brass telescope), signal to BG William B. Hazen (who will become our 5th Chief Signal Officer) to commence the land attack on Ft McAlister. The exact quote is: "Signal Gen Hazen that he must carry the fort by assault. " BG Hazen signaled his response: "I am ready and will assault at once." On the signaling platform will be Cpl Samuel Magner with his wig wag flag. Also present are BG Orlando Poe who is MG Sherman's Chief of Engineers and LT Jacob Sampson, also a Signal Officer. In the distant background is the smoke from the bombardment of Ft McAlister.

This print is filled with Signal history and Mr Troiani has done us proud. Again, to see finished products of his work, go to www.historicalartprints.com. You will have no hesitation in ordering our Regiment's 150 year print.
