On September 19, 1863, at 4 p.m., Brigadier General John B. Turchin's brigade of Reynolds' Division in Thomas' Corps, including the 18th Kentucky under Colonel Hubbard K. Milward, 11th Ohio under Colonel Philander P. Lane, 36th Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Hiram F. Devol, 92nd Ohio under Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Putnam, Jr., and the 21st Indiana Battery under Captain William W. Andrew, held its second position after relieving Hazen's brigade in Brock Field soon after 3 o'clock p.m. Finding itself isolated, Turchin moved to the right and formed in two lines on the left of Cruft's Brigade of Palmer's Division. At 4:30 p.m. the enemy attacked with great persistence, but was finally repelled by a charge of Turchin's brigade, which wheeled upon the enemy's right while Cruft's brigade charged to the front. At the close of this engagement, Turchin's brigade joined King's in the vicinity of the Poe House, where it bivouacked.
