In the morning the Battery was in position on the right of the
Brigade on a ridge southeast of here. When the enemy advanced
about 10:30 a.m. the Battery opened fire, aiding in repulsing the
attack. In the general advance about 11 a.m. the battery came into
position near and north of the Brotherton House and opened fire on
the enemy over the heads of the advancing Confederates. About noon
it again came into action in the southwest corner of the Poe Field,
aiding in forcing the enemy back on Snodgrass Ridge, and later in
the day by order of General Longstreet came into action on this ground and opened on the enemy who was crossing the road from his left to his right, and continued to fire, doing fine execution, till General Stewart's division in its advance intervened. The battery fired from this position 250 rounds. Casualties of the battle: 5
severely wounded and 9 slightly wounded.
