On May 2-3, 1863, the Stonewall Brigade lost forty-eight percent (160 men) of the 355 engaged at Battle of Chancellorsville, including Brig. Gen. E. Franklin Paxton, who fell dead personally leading the brigade early in the battle. The 4th Virginia's casualties were the highest of any regiment in the brigade, but the greatest loss was hearing of General Jackson's death of pneumonia following his wound by friendly fire. During the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1-2, 1863, the Brigade again covered itself in glory, particularly in the fighting on Culp's Hill, but the 4th Virginia lost (in addition to its battle flag) 18 killed, 50 wounded and 69 captured, again the heaviest losses within the brigade. Only 66 men recrossed the Potomac River. William Terry was promoted to colonel and the unit was assigned guard duty and dismantled B&amp;O tracks on various sorties. However, it fought one last battle in 1863, and again led the Brigade in losses. Of the Brigade's 20 killed 7 were from the 4th Virginia including Capt. Jonathan Evans and Lt. Henry H. McCready, and Lt. Andrew Bourne later of battle wounds. Of the Brigage's 124 wounded, 48 came from the 4th Virginia (including Capt. Hamilton D. Wade).
