Remembering Gettysburg
A hundred and fifty years have now passed since the Battle of Gettysburg but memories of the three-day clash, regarded as a crucial turning point in the American Civil War, are still very much alive in the imagination of people across the United States and beyond.
To mark the anniversary of the 1863 battle that claimed some 50,000 casualties, thousands flocked to Gettysburg to take part in two major reenactments of the event.
