Confederate Sodiers of Stafford Plaque (Boswell's Corner, Virginia)

Confederate Sodiers of Stafford Plaque (Boswell's Corner, Virginia)

This plaque is one of the memorial plaques on the walls of the historic Aquia Episcopal Church in Stafford, VA. It was placed by the Stafford Rangers chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1933 to memorialize the Confederate soldiers of Stafford. It is simultaneously dedicated to Eva E. Bell, the founder of that chapter of the UDC. This plaque is accompanied by another plaque dedicated to the soldiers from Stafford who died in the world wars, which was also placed by the UDC around the same time, as well as a memorial gate in front of the church dedicated to all Stafford soldiers. Both Union and Confederate soldiers camped outside of Aquia church at different times in the 1860s, and both sides left still-visible graffiti on the church. Unknown Union soldiers were buried there during the war and later moved. The plaque depicts twin furled confederate flags over the inscription.
