Report of arms-bearing men in battle, 9th April, 1865, viz: three commanding officers, twenty-two enlisted men; total, 25.

L. F. Jones, Capt. 2d Co. Richmond Howitzers.¹
Official copy: C. V. Southall, A. A. A. G., Long's Artillery.

1 The following note is taken from Contributions to a history of the Richmond Howitzer Battalion, no. 3, edited by Carlton McCarthy, p. 64, where it is appended to the preceding parole:

The report above shows only twenty-two men in battle the 9th of April (arms-bearing), while the names counted show forty-five. The explanation is simply that twenty-three men had no arms in their hands. They, however, followed the company closely on the march, and in line, and shared all its dangers. First Lieutenant Henry S Jones, whose name does not appear, was mortally wounded before the company reached Appomattox. Privates John Shelton Ragland,——Binford,——Pearson and others were wounded;——Hampton was killed; Creed Thomas Davis and others were made prisoners, and others, from various causes, could not reach Appomattox.

Richmond, VA. 1887.
