It advanced under a severe fire and took a position which it held until the evening of the 28th, when it recrossed the James and Appomattox, and arrived in the rear of the position of the 18th corps at an early hour on the 29th. During the day the regiment relieved a portion of the 18th corps in their advanced line of rifle pits, which it held for twenty-four hours. It then returned to the position which it had held prior to the movement of the 26th, and engaged in the performance of picket and fatigue duty.
