From the Regimental History.
p. 65, A lull in the battle followed the repulse of the enemy. Although the battery was exposed to a hot fire of shot and shell, but one of its number was struck Private Charles A. Cuffel, who was serving the third gun at the lanyard. A Belgium musket ball, that had first struck the ground in front of him, glanced and hit him on the breast. He was, however, able to resume his post at the gun an hour later when the battle broke out afresh.
