The
Appling Grays Camp #918 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans
The original United Confederate Veterans camp #918 was named for Captain
Osgood A. Lee of Company I, 27th Georgia Infantry, Confederate States
Army, Army of Northern Virginia. Captain Lee was Killed at Seven Pines,
Virginia leading the Charge which ultimately dislodged the Federal forces
from their position and assured victory for the Confederates. Captain

fought and bled and died for their country, The Confederate States of
America. |
