Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir-I am pleased to see the list OF my |
old company furnished you by my FRIEND.
George T. McClintic.
1t Is hard to recall casuaitles DeloIe
and after the reorganization In 1857 IN
which the old Bath Cavalry was divided
into COMPANIES f and G, and assigned
to the Eleventh Virginia Cavalry, but
note few errors or omissions. g,
the names Of Charles Hamilton and DO
seph Hamilton (omtted), the former
killed near Maurertown, IN the Naiiey'
in the same charge in which Henry Z.
LANCE mot "Lunge,, as printed Vas
killed. / cannot recall many Of the killed
or wounded. or whether these casual
| ties were before or after the reorgani-
zation-and in many cases my memory
I cannot separate the men assigned TO
l COMPANIES and G, the squadron being
a band OF brothers and loved as one,
and always referred to as Ihe bath
| Squadron" rather than by companies
! In mention of some wounded my 1rieno
| McCintic omits wounds received later
| than those recorded: for instance, he
| notes Jasper c. Lewis. wounded Orange
/ c. H., 1862; but omNs mention OF three
wounds received by him in Hamptons
/ cattle raid in the latter part OF 1864 cam
| paign. on Blackwater River. CFrom these
was wounded at the same place ana
nearly the same moment that Fendall e..
/ (not ''Wiliam') Donneln received his
l mortal wounds. ,j
He also omits wound received In
West Virginia. and also n shot through
the thigh which l received on the 5th
of April, 1865, near Amelia Springs,
4 where Hugh Mcclure received his death
wound, and where Captain Stevenson
was killed and Captain Randolph, OF the
Twelfth and Generals Rosser and
bearing and Captain James Thompson,
OF Chew's old battery, were wounded
(the two last named to be killed TWO
days later at High Bridge where we
captured the Federal force sent 10
destroy that BRIDGE.
But must stop hope by com
parison of the lists sent In by different
surviving members OF tho companies and
regiments of the old brigade nm accu-
: rate roster may be compiled for Its his
tory soon to be published.
