Captain Augustus Martin’s Artillery US V Corp July 2, 1863 – LBG Mike Rupert

“No sir, I hold you responsible that the artillery does its work.” General George Sykes to Captain Augustus Martin, July 2, 1863. Martin’s five batteries are spread to amend General Sickles Emmitsburg Road position. Even though two are gobbled up by some unknown officer of Sickles staff, Martin does earn his star that day although never received. We will cover all 5th Corp batteries – Hazlett, Gibbs, Walcott, Watson and Barnes.
