Battery D
' Well. ' said he, 'if you live to see Captain Church give him my compliments, and tell him that he had the d-est battery that I ever
fought. I have lost over 400 men in taking it; but thank God, I have got it now, and mean to keep it. "
On the 1st of November, 1863, this battery was lying in camp at Chattanooga, Tenn. It was, on the 23d, furnished with a battery of 20-pounder Parrot guns, and took position in Fort Negley, one of the principal forts in the line of works at Chattanooga, and immediately in front of that place.
