8 items are catalogued under this name — 2 named in the item's own title, the rest carried as an index term by the institution that holds them. A name in a catalogue is not a statement about what a photograph shows.

1 of the 8 is a staged reconstruction or a modern work about the battle rather than a photograph taken during it. They are marked, and they sort after the wartime material.
