Numbers 288. Report of Lieutenant Dorman L. Noggle, Fourth Wisconsin Battery, of operations July 30-August 1.1
CAMP DETACHMENT FOURTH WISCONSIN BATTERY,
Near Light-House Point, August 9, 1864.
CAPTAIN: I have the honor to report that on the evening of July 30, 1864, I left camp near Jones’ Landing with one section of the battery, accompanying the cavalry expedition under General Kautz. We marched all night, arriving at the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad about 4 a.m. July 31. Remained there two hours, then crossed the railroad and proceeded to Lee’s Mill, where I placed my two guns in position, but did not fire any. On the morning of August 1 received orders to move with the cavalry which returned to near Light-House Point, where we went into camp and remained until joined by the center section under your command.
Respectfully,yours
D. L. NOGGLE,
Second Lieutenant Commanding Detachment Fourth Wisconsin Battery.
Captain GEORGE B. EASTERLY.
Commanding Fourth Wisconsin Battery.
