on picket, extending to Ely's Ford. The balance of the brigade was extended on the right (east) of the Germanna plank road and intrenched the position. Demonstrations of the enemy against the cavalry in the afternoon compelled the extension of the line a mile to the east, which I was desired to make by General Sedgwick (General Neill being reported sick).

One hundred and second Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers: Colonel John W. Patterson, killed May 5; Captain Thomas E. Kirkbride, wounded May 5, died May 21; Captain James D.
