Firry-First REGIMENT. 221

This company sustained a loss of twenty-nine men in the
charge on 16 May, 1864, exclusive of the few captured who
were not wounded.

The enemy overrun and captured our picket line just be-
fore the charge and our loss in prisoners was due to that fact.
They were not lost in the assault.
