TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT. 171

Jackson’s flank attack on Hooker, and throughout the whole
of the action was heavily engaged. Its losses were very
severe. Colonel Cole and Major Odell were both killed, two
hundred and nineteen men and twenty-six out of thirty-three
officers were killed or wounded, and though the regiment was
distinguished by its accustomed efficiency and gallantry, noth-
ing could compensate for this terrible destruction. Chan-
cellorsville was the eighteenth battle of the Twenty-second
Regiment, and the most fatal. It went through the Mary-
land campaign of 1863, and Gettysburg, with credit. General
Wm. D. Pender had been made a Major General and was
now in command of the division, and Colonel Alfred M.
Scales, of the Thirteenth Regiment, was promoted Brigadier
in command of the brigade. It participated in the first day’s
brilliant success at Gettysburg, was engaged also on the sec-
ond day, and on the third the brigade was part of General
I. R. Trimble’s division, General Pender having been mor-
tally wounded, in support of Heth’s division, then under Pet-
tigrew, in the famous charge on Cemetery Ridge. In this
charge, Archer’s and Seales’ brigades occupied and held for
a time the Federal works, and when they retreated to the
Confederate lines, Scales’ Brigade had not one Field Officer
left for duty, and but very few Line Officers. Its total loss
was 102 killed and 322 wounded.

After the return of the regiment to Virginia it was re-or-
ganized, when Thomas 8S. Galloway, Jr., at one time its
Major, was elected Colonel, to date from 21 September, 1863 ;
Wm. L. Mitchell was Lieutenant-Colonel; J. H. Welborn,
Adjutant; J. D. Wilder, Quartermaster; P. G. Robinson,
Surgeon. Benj. A. Cheek was still Assistant Surgeon. The
