The position of this regiment in line of battle was 119 yards south-southeast. The 19th Massachusetts and 42d New York Regiments were the first troops to attack Pickett's Division in flank. As Hancock reported, Colonel Devereux, commanding the 19th Massachusetts Volunteers and anxious to be in the right place, asked permission to move his regiment to the right and to the front where the line had been broken.
