Picture of Regimental Battery manned by Detachment of the 39th Regiment Illinois Volunteers during the Siege of Charleston, South Carolina.

On the back in ink: "Sent home by Lt. Jone Frane."

Dimly in pencil and no longer very legible but possibly:
"This is one of the photos Lt. Jone Frane at end of photo."

Thus the photo could be about Summer 1863.
