Grier (search for this): chapter 1.15
Washington Light Infantry (which was on this occasion commanded by Lieutenant Blum), and private Jervey shot one down. We restrained the men no longer, and firing, which now began on the left of the battalion, extended towards the right. The enemy were very near us, but owing to the thickness of the woods very few of them could be seen. Their fire was in the direction from which ours first came, and consequently was concentrated to a great extent on Company B. In a very few minutes Lieutenant Grier, Sergeant F. Lanneau, Jr., and two men, were killed. Lieutenant Samuel Burger and nine men were wounded, some of them mortally. Two in Captain Sellers' company were also wounded, Lieutenant F. J. Lesesne, of the Ripley Guards, was grazed by a ball, and Private Walters, of the Wee Nees, had his gun shot through. Sergeant Horton, of the Yeadon Light Infantry, was slightly wounded. (I very much regret my inability to give the names of all the private soldiers killed and wounded.) There

June 12th.—To-day the battalion was ordered to the front to protect Goodlet's regiment South Carolina volunteers, which was detailed as a working party to cut down the woods east of the SecessionvConfederates had not already interred. Before the truce was out, a gunboat in the Stono fired on our picket line. Colonel Goodlet, of the Twenty-second South Carolina volunteers, who was in command of the Confederate pickets, rode boldly up to thuze. The heat was so great that sometimes we could not use these coverings. June 20th.—The battalion was relieved by Goodlet's regiment, Twenty-second South Carolina volunteers. June 23d.—Battalion again on picket line. Some of the reserves e had a day of perfect quiet all along the line; not a gun fired.

ed Cummins Point, and, with the men brought with me, I had a command of eighty or ninety. There was no prospect of getting the remainder of the regiment before the next night. This detachment was marched to Fort Wagner, where I reported to General Colquit, who was then in command. As I had not men enough to relieve any of the battalions or regiments in the fort, he ordered me to return to the sand hills, between Wagner and Gregg, and protect my command as well as I could. All that part of tjor F. F. Warley, of the Second South Carolina artillery, was Chief of Artillery and had the general supervision of all the guns. During the night Colonel Lawrence M. Keitt, of the Twentieth South Carolina volunteers, came down and relieved General Colquit, who left the island. September 3d, Thursday.—Enemy still approaching. One or two of our guns and one mortar keeping up a steady fire. The men of the Twenty-fifth were in high spirits, a great many of them went to work building defences

ut in time to meet an assault should the enemy attempt one. The men were directed to protect themselves as well as possible by keeping near the parapet, which afforded some shelter, except against shell bursting overhead. The salient angle became untenable, and only a small squad of Company F was left there. In making our arrangements for the night, a good many men were killed and wounded. I posted Lieutenant——Ramsay, of Company H (who had been before this time commissioned to succeed F. C. Jacobs), with eight men in the angle made by the face and flank of the bastion, and proceeded to make proper arrangements for the balance of the land face of the fort. I returned in about ten minutes and found Ramsay at his post alone. I inquired where his men were. He said that they were all killed or wounded except one, and he had left him. I told him that I would send him another detachment. The cool courage of Lieutenant Ramsay filled me with admiration. The bombardment was terrific

Twelve brave men answered to their names on— Fame's eternal camping ground. When the ruins were removed the next day, they were found exactly in the position in which they went to sleep. I did not hear the name of the Georgian. The men of Company A were, Sergeants W. L. Owens and J. Adger Stevens; Privates S. W. Anderson, O. J. Burn, S. L. Burrows, F. M. Burrows, James Calder, W. S. Gibson, J. W. Jones, L. S. Lee, and W. N. Patterson. The regiment remained at Secessionville all of the winter. For a long time we had daily artillery duels with the enemy. Whenever their steamers passed in reach of our guns we indulged in artillery practice. Our attentions were promptly returned with interest. In one of these fights Private Hugh M. Pressley, of Company C, had one of the bones of his hand broken by a piece of shell,
