The Daily Dispatch: June 10, 1862., [Electronic resource], Waste of ammunition. (search)
from Jackson's army we have some particulars of the fight at Winchester on Sunday, May 25th. Our informant was attached to the 21st North Carolina regiment, Col. W. W. Kirkland, which was in the hottest of the fight. The 21st was on the right wing of the army, and being engaged all the time suffered severely, losing 100 men out of Martinsburg, a distance of 22 miles, where we encamped for the night. In the charge made in the early part of the engagement we lost many valuable officers. Col. Kirkland, while gallantly leading his regiment, musket in hand, firing as rapidly as possible, received a painful wound through the right thigh. Lieut. Col. Repper wast he took his own sick and wounded from the ambulances and loaded them with negro families. Thus his wounded fell into our hands, together with ten Yankee Surgeons. The latter were released unconditionally. On this occasion the gallant conduct of Col. Kirkland was very conspicuous, and won the praise of the General in command.
