Battle resumes

More than 2,000 historical re-enactors converged on Monmouth Battlefield State Park, Manalapan, on Saturday and Sunday for the re-creation of the June 28, 1778, Battle of Monmouth. On Saturday, during the 225th anniversary commemoration, Dwight Dickson (above) of Westford, Mass., gives directions to a group of Continental soldiers.
