2 During our whole fight the Tenth Maine Regiment, on duty as a provost-guard at Winchester, was allowed to perform this duty. If Banks knew they were in town, he did not call upon them. It is claimed that they were held in reserve ; but it is manifest that if in that battle of Winchester it was proper to hold any troops in reserve, there was no lack of occasion to call upon them; and this was not done. See “Maine in the War,” p. 229.
