The 82nd Ohio Infantry,
arriving from Emmittsburg
at noon, July 1, 1863, moved
rapidly to the support of
Dilger's Battery near the
Carlisle Road. At 3 p.m. changed
front to the right and advan-
ced to a position 125 yards
in front of this monument,
where, exposed both front
and flank to a severe fire,
it engaged the enemy then
approaching from York. After
an obstinate struggle, the
regiment being outflanked
on both sides, withdrew to
Cemetery Hill, where it re-
mained until the close of
the battle.
