This side shows the unit history, where the right side shows the people involved and the timeline. See the full LO for details.
The background is paper S12 with the 1886 print Battle of Shiloh by Kurtz and Allen blended over it using a gradient mask. The prints on the left are all from the collection and are actual battles in which William fought in chronological order. Image top right is A.T. Hawthorne, and the bottom is Gordon Neill Peay. After the background, I created the scalloped borders and clipped paper S06 to them. I applied a sepia filter to the top left element. The rest was just a matter of layering then adding the text. The muster card in the right border is a digital copy of William’s card showing his death.
