Winchester National Cemetery

Across the street from the Confederate cemetery is the National Cemetery. This land was part of the battlefield for the 3rd battle of Winchester, as this sign indicates.
A general shot of the cemetery.
Monument for the 6th Corps. Its pretty rare to find a monument for a corps, in fact no others currently come to mind.
Detail of the 6th Corps monument showing colored tiles to denote divisions just like corps badges did during the war.
