PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENTAL MEMORIALS WERE, BY THE PREFERENCE OF THE GOVERNING BOARD AT THE TIME, NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE LIKENESSES OF THEIR COMMANDERS. SUCH STATUARY WAR RESERVED FOR INDIVIDUAL MEMORIALS. OFFICIALLY THE OFFICER DRAWING THE SWORD SIMPLY LOOKS A LOT LIKE COL. STONG VINCENT, COMMANDING OFFICER, BUT COULD BE ANY OF THE REGIMENTS OFFICERS.
