- The following note is taken from Contributions to a History of the Rich-
mond 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 gth 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, how- ever, followed the company closely on the march, and in line, and shared all its dangers. First Lieutenant Henry S Jones, whose name does not ap- pear, 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.
