...Part of the ceremonies of the day was the raising of the flag at the Battery and in Central Park. Judson Kilpatrick Post, G.A.R., performed the duty at sunrise at the Block House in the Park, and Christopher R. Forbes, great-grandson of Sergt. Van Arsdale of the Revolutionary Army, raised the flag at the Battery in the morning. Capt. George Moeser of the Anderson Zouaves, Sixty-second Regiment, assisted him.
