HDQRS. ARTILLERY BATTALION, THIRD DIVISION, September 29, 1863.
CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit herewith copies of the official reports of the commanding officers of the batteries of this division, and also a list of the names* of the killed, wounded, and missing.
The Independent Pennsylvania Battery went into the action with:
Commissioned officers ................................... 5
Enlisted men ............................................107
Total ...................................................112
The Third Wisconsin Battery went into the action with:
Commissioned officers ................................... 3
Enlisted men ............................................116
Total ...................................................119
The Seventh Indiana Battery went into the action with:
Commissioned officers ................................... 5
Enlisted men ............................................117
Total ...................................................122
