Unknown, 1st Battalion Maryland Infantry, On Battle Casualties

FURTHER FROM THE MARYLAND VOLUNTEERS.

A letter from another Maryland volunteer says:

The only one killed in the Maryland regiment was named Switzler, in Cpt. Wm. Goldborough’s company. In Captain Dorsey’s company, Sergeant John B. Berryman was shot through the stomach; the wound, though severe, is not dangerous, and he will get over it. W. D. Codd was struck by a shell in the pit of the stomach; he will soon be ready for duty again. In Captains Murray’s and Herbert’s companies none were injured. Of the rest of the wounded (about ten) I could not learn their names. It is admitted by all that the timely arrival of Elzey’s brigade saved the day, though the enemy could no possibly get past Manassas.

The wounded of the Maryland regiment were conveyed by their friends to Manassas, where they were kindly provided with quarters by Captains Sterret and Chatard, of Baltimore, formerly of the U. S. Navy. These gentlemen have charge of the batteries at the Junction.
