The marker for G.B. Anderson’s Brigade of D. H. Hill’s Division is one of the roughly two dozen that have disappeared over the years, but records provide its location and text. The marker was on the north side of the Boonsboro Pike, east of Rodman Avenue. The brigade’s story is continued on another marker at the Sunken Road.
Lee’s Army had another brigade commanded by George T. Anderson of Georgians, in D.R. Jones’ Division.
