Winchester Confederate Cemetery part 5
Here are a few more scenes from the Winchester cemetery that I found interesting.

 A modern marker for the women of Winchester.  A very neat colorful marker.
 Turner Ashby's grave.  I don't know too much about this cavalry leader since he died so early in the conflict.  Maybe if he had lived a few more years his reputation would be more well known.
 Grave of General Robert Johnston.  Fought with Lee and Jackson.  It says he was wounded 7 times, pretty remarkable.
 Grave of General Archibald Godwin.  He was killed in the 3rd battle of Winchester.  Somewhere I read that he was killed near this very spot but that seems hard to believe.
 A few other personal graves on the edges of the Confederate section.
