A forage cap with crossed-cannons, regimental number "2", and company letter "H" rests on table next to him. Image is clear with very good contrast and detail. Very light soiling and wear to mount. Photographer's backmark, Lawrence, Newburgh. Period pencil identification on back.

Lockwood was from Plymouth, CT., when he joined Company H, of the 2nd Connecticut Heavy Artillery in September of 1862. He was promoted to corporal in June 1863 and to sergeant April of 1864. He was discharged in July of 1865.

The 2nd Conn. Heavy Artillery was one of those heavy artillery regiments that served as infantry throughout most of their term of service. They suffered heavily at Cold Harbor and fought at the "breakthrough at Petersburg."
