...The heavy rains which set in at this time considerably retarded operations, and no material changes were made in the respective positions of the troops between June 11 and June 13. On that day 1 received your order to make a feint at noon, and availed myself of that opportunity to dislodge some rebel infantry intrenched in front of my left (Third Brigade). These sharpshooters had been annoying the artillerists and infantry in my main works considerably. While the whole of my line were to advance their skirmishers at the hour indicated, and the artillery opened on the enemy’s works, Colonel Wangelin, commanding Third Brigade, was ordered to assault the aforesaid rifle-pits in his front. Lieutenant-Colonel Kaercher, Twelfth Missouri, and Lieutenant-Colonel Gage, Twenty-ninth Missouri, led the attacking party, and carried the enemy’s pits successfully, in spite of the severe musketry and shelling which greeted them. Colonel Wangelin, without delay, advanced his whole line to the position just gained and reversed the enemy’s works. The Second and First Brigades followed on the right, and thus our whole line was advanced about 400 yards. This success was won with but small loss on our side.

This episode was succeeded by a period of monotony, lasting till June 19…
