In the mid afternoon of June 15th, Federal troops of the XX Corps under the command of General Hooker, attacked the Confederates of Cleburne’s Division. The attack came from the north as the Federals moved down both sides of the Sandtown Road. Cleburne’s Division was well entrenched and was backed up by artillery. They were able to repel the Federal advance and eventually the Federals withdrew as they began to run low on ammunition.
The angle logs were to keep the “head log” from being blown into the trench as well as to keep other debris that may fall from an artillery bombardment.Remnant of Confederate earthworks at Gilgal Church. Stone monument at the site of the Battle of Gilgal Church. The monument sits next to the existing remnants of Confederate trenches.
