2D Illinois Light Artillery;

—3d Div.; 17th Corps; Army of the Tennessee. —

Capt. Frederick Sparrestrom;
Lieut. John W. Lowell.


By a collision between the transports "Horizon" and "Moderator", about 3 a.m., May 1, while the battery was crossing the river to Bruinsburg, Mississippi, the "Horizon" was sunk, two enlisted men were drowned, the guns, the equipment and most of the horses of the battery were lost. It was sent to Memphis to refit, rejoined its command about June 30, and probably served four James rifles on the line of Logan's Division from that date to the end of the siege, July 4, 1863.
