when it became dark and we ceased firing. Then we went to a hill one-quarter of a mile farther to the front and erected temporary breast-works and placed the guns in position within range of the enemy's guns, getting all ready for action before daylight, and at daylight on the 16th we opened on the enemy and fired 200 rounds of shell. We then ceased firing and moved the left section to a position of the left of the First Brigade, Second Division, Twenty-third Army Corps, and again opened with sections at 1 p.m. and kept up fire during the afternoon, assisting in shelling the enemy's works while the charge was being made at 4 p.m. expending 560 rounds of shell, making a total expenditure of ammunition of 875 rounds during the two days' fight. After the charge was ended we were ordered to the left of the Granny White pike, where we went into camp for the night.
