The battery served four James rifles in this position from about May 25 to the end of the siege July 4, 1863, except that after about June 15, one rifle, in charge of a daily detail including one officer, was served in an advanced position on the line of rifle pits of Logan's division and at the left of the Jackson Road, against the Confederate mortar in rear of the left of Moore’s brigade. A covered way was constructed from this advanced position to the ravine in its rear. The battery fired 2368 rounds of ammunition during the siege.
