“The Capture of Winslow’s Battery”
“The May 5 fighting in Saunders field was waxing hot when Captain George B. Winslow received orders to rush two guns to Battery D, 1st New York Artillery, to the front to support Union attacks here. Dashing down the turnpike at a trot, Winslow’s men crossed the ditch in front of you, unlimbered their guns across the road, and began firing into the entwined masses ahead – for a time killing friend and foe alike.
Winslow quickly saw the impossibility of his task and ordered the cannon to withdraw. Before they could, Union infantry in Winslow’s front gave way, and Confederates surged at the ditch. Before gun crews could save the pieces, the Confederates were upon them. With their horses shot and their infantry support gone, the Union artilleryman had no choice but to abandon the guns.”
In blue type, upper left corner:
“The guns were fought to the last, and lost as honorably as guns could be lost. Colonel Charles S. Wainwright Chief of Fifth corps Artillery”
