In the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 3, 1863, Woodall was wounded again, this time by an artillery shell hitting his left leg calf. Being on convalescence leave until late July he missed the Battle of Gettysburg. On July 30, 1863 Woodall was detached from the regiment and temporarily took command of the 39th New York Infantry Regiment that was attached to the same brigade. At the Battle of Bristoe Station Major Woodall, serving with his Delawarians again, led half of the regiment as brigade skirmishers and was praised by his brigade (and regiment) commander, Colonel Thomas Alfred Smyth.
