Mahone returned his men to the division on Charles City Road, where Huger held them, not moving to support either Thomas Jackson further east in White Oak Swamp or Longstreet at Glendale. The morning of July 1, Mahone's men traveled south towards the Union fall-back position at Malvern Hill and took up position on the Confederate right flank. At 4:00 pm, John Magruder bypassed Huger and ordered Mahone to charge the Union position. Instead, Mahone lead the two other brigades in Huger's division through the woods in an attempt to surprise the Union left flank. Union sharpshooters spotted the movement and joined artillery and naval bombardments in defeating the attack. The men of the 41st Virginia spent the night only a few hundred yards from Union lines, while a bombardment covered the Union withdrawal to Harrison's Landing.
