Joshua Lindamood - presenting
"THE GEORGIA BATTALION"
The 18th Georgia Battalion, Savannah Volunteer Guards was a Confederate unit formed from the pre-war Savannah militia to defend Georgia during the American Civil War. Initially tasked with coastal defense, they protected key positions around Savannah, including Fort McAllister. The battalion participated in the defense of Savannah during General William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea" in 1864 but was forced to retreat after the city fell to Union forces. Following the fall of Savannah, they continued to serve in the war's final months before being disbanded in 1865. The unit is remembered for its dedicated service in defending Georgia and is still honored as part of Georgia's National Guard heritage today.
