Black and white photograph of three elderly American Civil War veterans posing in dress uniforms in front of a draped Union flag that originally designated their post in the war (Post 14). The setting is outdoors in a grassy field, though their surroundings are obscured by the flag and the glare of the sun. They were members of a Hopkinton veterans' society named for Charles C. Phillips, a soldier from Hopkinton who was killed in the war during his second tour of duty. From left to right, the men in the photograph are Edwin Newton, Sidney Whitney, and Samuel Smith. Their names have been identified from a small strip of paper originally attached to the photo. All three of them have grey hair, mustaches, and wide-brimmed hats, as well as dark-colored buttoned dress jackets with star-shaped medals pinned to them. Edwin and Sidney also have "G.A.R." emblem pins attached to their hats. Samuel is wearing round glasses.
