Many prisoners were brought in from the left during the evening, and there were numbers of the Nineteenth who went to bed supperless, but they slept as soundly as though there was no such thing as a battle, fought or to be fought. When the distant clock of Gettysburg tolled the hour of three, aides and orderlies began to hustle about, the sleeping warriors were silently awakened and each addressed himself to the preparation of a repast,—mayhap his last. From about the centre of the famous Horse-Shoe occupied by Meade's forces, immediately to left the of the cemetery a knoll projected a little from the general direction of the Union lines. The knoll was crowned with a growth of small oaks constituting a prominent feature of the landscape. The slope of this knoll toward the enemy, and for a little distance to both left and right, was held by the Second Division, Se

1864. On the 15th of December, at Headquarters Second Army Corps, near Yellow Tavern, Va., General Meade presented medals of honor commemorative of special instances of distinguished bravery in battle to several noncommissioned officers and soldiers of the Second Corps. Among these honored and gallant men were Sergeants B. H. Jellison and Joseph H. DeCastro of the Nineteenth Massachusetts Infantry. These gallant soldiers were two of the four members of this regiment, who, on the 3d of July, 1863, at Gettysburg, captured the battle flags of the Fourteenth, Nineteenth, Fifty-Third and Fifty-Seventh Virginia Regiments. The others were Sergeant B. F. Falls, Co. A, of Lynn, who fell mortally wounded at Spottsylvania, May 12, and Private John Robinson, of Co. I, of Boston, now a prisoner of war.
