Shockoe Hill Cemetery

Nearby are buried at least 661 United States soldiers who died between July 1861 and June 1863 while prisoners of war in this city. Many died at Confederate General Hospital Number 1 adjacent to Shockoe Hill Cemetery which took in Union wounded from First Manassas (Bull Run) and other engagements. Though most were anonymous, the names of 88 of the dead are listed below as they appear in cemetery records.

This marker was placed in 2002 at the request of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States to remember their faithful service.
