Confederate Monument
Hardy Grays - 33rd Virginia Infantry
Stonewall Brigade

The use of initials for the first names of the men listed on the Confederate monument in the Moorefield Cemetery was adequate when it was erected in 1873, as most people probably knew who they were. But today, the entire name of the soldier buried there should be more helpful. The following men have been partially identified:
