U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
The two guns spoken of were manned by men of this division and of the 14th New York heavy artillery, under the guidance of Sergeant W. Stanley, Co. " D " of that regiment, who behaved with great skill, coolness, and bravery, but unfortunately was killed during the day.
Another assault was afterwards attempted by the rebels on the rear of the works, and was again repulsed.
The enemy brought field artillery into position on several points along the Jerusalem plank road, Cemetery Hill, and a barn to the left of the hill. Their mortar batteries also got the range of the crater and the shell fell with destructive precision among troops so closely packed together.
