Battery D
A correspondent wrote as follows:
"This battery was hotly engaged early in the battle of the 19th, being with the 1st brigade, 3d division, 14th corps.
"The enemy advancing, the battery fired shell until they were within 200 yards, when seeing the support on the left break, it was ordered to double shot the guns with canister, and by firing low and rapid, with the help of the infantry support on the right, the enemy were soon driven from our entire front, so far as could be seen.
" On the 20th at about 12 o'clock at night the battery was in the front line on the right of the 7th Ohio Infantry and on the left of the 11th Michigan Regiment, belonging to Colonel Stanley's brigade of Negley's division,
