40 Rounds Skirmish –April 22-24 2022
After a two-year period of not being able to hold this event, the 114th Illinois Volunteer Infantry and the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry are proud to host a joint Western Region N-SSA and ACWSA Skirmish at the Lefthanders Gun Club, 9364 Rhea Road, Loami, Illinois.
We wish to dedicate this Skirmish to our departed pards over the past quarter century. At opening Ceremonies on Sunday, we will pause for an empty Chair Memorial. The host teams are asking each participating unit from the ACWSA and N-SSA to be prepared to read aloud a list of those team members who have passed in body, but who will forever remain among us in spirit.
