Artillery The loss in the Eleventh Ohio Battery occurred almost entirely in one action, 1!) of its men having l>een killed or mortally wounded at Inka in a charge on the battery. In the other batteries, however, the losses represent a long series of battles in which they rendered effective service, and participated with honor to themselves and the arm of the service to which they belonged.
