JHS, The 27th Missouri Infantry was in the same 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 15th Army Corps, Army of the Tennessee as my great great Grandfather's Regiment the Consolidated Battalion of the 31st Missouri Infantry and 32nd Missouri Infantry Regiments. I have written a book about my ancestor's regiment and in it I have quoted references by men who describe on the way to Columbia they were involved in skirmishing with Confederate Cavalry on the date in question. Here are some of the quotes relating to that day. "Tuesday Feb 14, Batt marched at 7 a.m. moved about 8 miles & camped. Some rain. Battalion was in the advance, skirmished with the enemy. Rebels fell back. Losses not known." LT. William Lynch The Battalion had the lead of the Brigade who was leading the Division. So he may have been wounded in one of these skirmishes. He may have been wounded on Wednesday February 15th. The 1st Division 15th Army Corps attacked the Confederate defensive works on the Congaree River on Feb 15th, The 1st Brigade was in the rear of the 1st Division so they were not in the early fight.When the Confederates fell back to their main line of defensive works the 1st Brigade assumed position on the extreme left. They then charged the Cofederate works and after a fight took position of the works. I do not mention much of this fight because the Consolidated Battalion of the 31st Missouri Infantry and 32nd Missouri Infantry had guard dutyu on the Division train that day. So it is likely that your ancestor was wounded at this point. Gary L. Scheel
