We often hear of commands being
Sdecimated," the expression being used
to denote great loss, but here was COM
mand that had lost more than one-thlrd
of its number in a single engagement OF
a few hours on the Plank road, where
Lee thought the Union army had "con-
centrated on Gen. Hill"
The losses were especially severe
among the officers. OF the five regi-
mental commanders, two were killed and
two were seriously wounded. lcannot tell
the exact number of officers present for
duty; many of the companies were small
and had only two officers each. Taking
into account the large number from the
brigade on detached duty, an estimate
of two field officers to regiment and
two line officers to company would be
liberal estimate. That would make ITO
officers, not including Quartermasters,
Chaplains, and Surgeons Doubtless
the number present was
CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THAT.
The reports show 16 officers killed, Al
wounded, and two missing Zone OF whom
was killed.; making a total of 59-more

with three staff officers, and came out
