For faithful service, WM. HUTTON was promoted as sergeant of the company.
In A.P. HILL'S Division the brigade served through many memorable battles, in all of which, except one, William took part. In a letter to his home before his death he stated that he had been in 13 battles. He was commississioned to third lieut.
