Re: Patrick Cleburne Memorial Service

I have not been able to determine if the bottle was full or empty.

It may have been left as a libation, a drink offering between comrades. A Libation is preformed at many memorial services, but usually is done with a canteen of water. However, the old Romans, where the custom comes from, did use wine.
