Where is it Wednesday, Gettysburg?

Okay, I will be interested in everyone's thinking about this one. Even I had trouble finding it.

What do you see, and where would you find it? Good luck! Answer on Saturday!

is that the rock at the top of devils den? with the unknown initials?

That's that one rock by the other rock just under that other rock which can be found in the group of rocks....in Gettysburg.
On a serious note I'll be there this October and once we get the answer I'll make it a quest to find it.

Whoa.... no clue. Interesting. Would be interested to hear the history as well.

On rock near 111th N.Y. Infantry monument, Hancock Ave.

Looks more like C. E. H. to me, but I am stumped as to location or other particulars.

Near the Brian Farm... agree 111 N.Y. Monument... Cemetery Hill... C E H.. ???

So, Saturday is come and gone. What's the answer to this most difficult "Where Is It" of all time?

Thanks for asking!

Congrats to @ronzzo, who got the correct answer, and @reading48, who was not far behind! This is located next to the 111NY at the Bryan barn. There are several areas of flat rocks there, but this CEH is scratched into a patch of rough concrete that was part of the monument erection process. The guess is either that someone with those initials either was part of the 111NY, and scratched them into the concrete perhaps at the 1913 reunion, or that it was in memory of someone who fought in the 111th. This was part of a scavenger hunt that I participated in last year at this time with Randy Drais and about 15 other Gettysburg "nuts," and it was the only thing out of the 20 that I couldn't find without help.

As always, thanks for playing, everyone! See you on Wednesday for the next battlefield mystery spot!

Oops, forget this! Approximate location of the initials.

Well that won't be a tough one to get to. That's a must visit spot for me if my avatar is any indication. I guess I'll have to look down this time and not just at the monument, buildings, and the field.

Congrats to Ronzzo.... that was a tough one!
