- Description:
- The Hilton Head Post Band, composed of New Hampshire soldiers stationed on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, during the Civil War, earned a lasting reputation for its music. The band performed an important morale-boosting service during the war. Although band members were well fed and saw no military action, they suffered from dysentery and malaria and were conscious of the suffering of their fellow soldiers who saw combat.
