This print showcases an invaluable artifact from the American Civil War - a metal Soldiers Identification Disc. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this disc belonged to Lieutenant Daniel A. Hardy of the 4th Regiment Excelsior Brigade, 2nd Fire Zouaves, Co. I. Etched on its reverse side are the battles in which Lt. Hardy valiantly fought, spanning from Yorktown to Fredericksburg - a testament to his unwavering dedication and bravery on the battlefield. However, Lt. Hardy's service came to an abrupt end when he was dismissed on June 25,1863. This identification disc served as more than just a personal item; it symbolized unity within the Union Army and represented each soldier's individuality amidst the chaos of war.
