In the assault on May 22, 1863, one gun of the battery was dragged by hand, with the assistance of enlisted men of Benton's and Burbridge's brigades, to a position within a few yards of the Confederate lunette on Baldwin's Ferry Road, and it was served against that work for several hours. At Champion's Hill on May 16, the battery suffered three wounded.
