Many many years ago I was at Gettysburg and stopped by the position of Jone's Battery that engaged the 11th Corps on the first day. It was off the main road Route 15 on a side street surrounded by brick ranch style homes. There were several Cannons there plus the Plaque explaining the position etc.
Well again a few years later I visited the same spot and all the Cannons were gone. Does anyone one know if they put the Cannons back or are they still gone and gone for good?

Yes they are back

That's a place on the battlefield that almost no one goes—which is good, because there's not a lot of room back there. 🙂
