The battery occupied a position immediately over the Tunnel in rear of this point during the fighting of the morning, and with its rapid and accurate firing, aided in keeping its near front clear of the enemy.
About noon by order of Gen. Cleburne, the battery moved to the right, to Tunnel Hill, where Lieut. Key was placed in command of all the artillery at that point.
The battery was commended by General Cleburne, in his official report, for courage and efficiency. The battery retired with its division, unmolested, after dark to Chickamauga Station.
No casualties reported.
