17th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment.The 20th gets the glory and renown, refusing its flank under extreme pressure but it wasn't the only regiment from that State to do so at much the same time. Which regiment that was organised at Camp King, Cape Elizabeth and that also claimed to have helped repulse the charge that was to be named after Lasalle Corbell's soon to be husband was it? As a clue it has two memorials. Alternatively add ten to the number of the 'forgotten' Pine Tree regiment (Ten Infantry Regiments formed from its native sons are immortalised in stone there but only nine get frequent visitors).
