July 2 After participating in the operations of July 1st at Barlow Knoll and elsewhere it took position in the afternoon on the railroad between the town and Rock Creek. When the assault was made at 8 p.m. on East Cemetery Hill the Brigade advanced to its support but was halted here because the expected re-enforcements from the right were unable to co-operate and it was evident that the assault would fail.
