 Photographer T. C. Roche, working for the E. & H. T. Anthony Co, took the final series of photos of war casualties at the Confederate Fort Mahone the morning after it was stormed by Union troops on April 2, 1865. The Union troops nicknamed it "Fort Damnation." Besides the dead Confederate in the middle of the image, a second dead soldier lies nearly buried in the mud in the foreground. Roche made this image soon after meeting with photographer A. J. Russell behind the Union lines. The meeting was vividly remembered by Russell in a narrative written almost 20 years later.
