Guards
Each day’s guard reported here for inspection, a short drill, and the daily parole and countersign. From here they relieved the previous day’s guard.
The camp guard – 27 men from every 2 regiments – surrounded Jockey Hollow with a chain of sentinels. A picket guard – 2 officers and 50 men – assembled daily and “lay on their arms” waiting for orders.
Marker is on Grand Parade Road, on the left when traveling east.
