20th Battery, Ohio Light Artillery

The 20th Independent Battery, Ohio Light Artillery, part of Dodge’s Brigade, Johnson’s Division, 20th Army Corps, under Capt. Edward Grosskopff, was held in reserve with its brigade on Sept. 19th, 1863, until about 12:00 N, when it advanced into action with the brigade. Because the ground was unfavorable for artillery use, and woods and fallen timber impeded its advance, the battery went into action whenever opportunity offered. It was engaged in this position on Sept. 20th. Its losses were 2 wounded and 2 missing.
