11th Mississippi Infantry Monument, Civil War memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park, United States
The granite monument features a bronze statue of Color Sergeant William O'Brien holding the Mississippi state flag atop a 4-foot-high base.
During the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, the 11th Mississippi Infantry Regiment advanced toward the stone wall near Brian's Barn with severe losses.
The monument represents companies from different Mississippi counties, including the University Greys from Lafayette and Coahoma Invincibles from Coahoma County.
Located southwest of Gettysburg on West Confederate Avenue, the monument includes bronze plaques on all four sides providing information about the regiment.
Eight color bearers from the regiment were killed or wounded during the charge, with Sergeant O'Brien being the first to fall in battle.
