Sometimes it is better to be driven off. Matheny and Parish held very strongly, as did Norris, but took heavy losses as a result.

Williamson was broken primarily by Potts (Nagle's left) in the first assaults.

Bryan tangled with Norris and Bryan got the worst of it, although Norris continued to take losses from past of other assaults by AOA 3rd and 6th Divisions.

Hollosetter and Wood struck Matheny and Parish and couldn't move them. Wood has been advancing from the south and had his flank hit by regiments from Prince and Williamson who had retreated and were resting where Wood's flank passed.

Prince was the only DEF brigade to get hit by canister when it ventured into South Younger Field to try to get on the flank of a 6th Division brigade.

4th Division took heavy losses in their first assault against Smead's initial position, when Matheny moved in as a rear guard. It also took losses against Wales and Parish.
