Popular Culture

The regiment is depicted at the Battle of the Crater in the movie Cold Harbor, which is based upon the life of one of the soldiers in the regiment, William Inman.[2][3] The clip of the battle can be seen on YouTube, but can be disturbing for some people as this movie did not disguise the horrors of war.
