It was like playing blindman's buff and you were it.

I got separated once and was scared until I saw the line again, as my leg was very bad and I could not get about over the rough ground.

I went down the trail and I found Capron dying and the whole place littered with discarded blankets and haversacks.

I also found Fish and pulled him under cover--he was quite dead-- Then I borrowed a carbine and joined Capron's troop, a second lieutenant and his Sergeant were in command.

The man next me in line got a bullet through his sleeve and one through his shirt and you could see where it went in and came out without touching the skin.
