I'd done some online research into Long Branch and the nearby towns but hadn't found anything ACW-related for Long Branch itself. Still, I thought, there was bound to be at least a Veterans Memorial of some description.
What a surprise! I initially thought I was going to be disappointed but a 15 minute walk from my hotel brought me, by complete chance, to Greenlawn Cemetery in West Long Branch. Most of the headstones in the immediate vicinity of the monument appeared to be ACW veterans', although some of the inscriptions are now almost unreadable. Dotted around the rest of the cemetery are several other ACW veterans. (It's unclear as to whether there were two separate cemeteries which, over time, have merged into one; there's a very big Hebrew burial ground with its own veterans' memorial.)
