Battery H
The following extract from the " Rebellion Record " still further credits the battery for excellent and gallant service on the occasion referred to:
" Shortly after the opening of the fight, Captain De Golyer's battery (8th Michigan) was ordered to the front, and took a commanding position for the purpose of dislodging the enemy from the woods, the infantry having proven itself inadequate to the task. The James rifled guns of De Golyer's battery opened, and commenced pouring a heavy fire of shell into the rebel columns.
