The Second Brigade was in reserve, but in a few moments after the commencement of the battle moved forward as support for the line, the One hundred and third shared the fortunes of the gallant Seventieth Ohio, and together the two regiments repulsed three desperate assaults upon their lines, punishing the enemy severely.
