Civil War Infantry
Twenty Third Infantry
The heroic spirit which inspired the command was forcibly illustrated by the gallant 111th regiment of Ohio infantry, on the left flank of the brigade, when the enemy carried the works on their left and they stood firm and crossed bayonets with them, holding them in check. This is not mentioned to discriminate between the gallant regiments of the command, but by way of illustrating the heroic bravery of the entire command, for all along the line, at different points, at different times, a hand to hand conflict ensued, even to the capture and recapture of the colors.
