We ought to distinguish individual actions for those not familiar with the Atlanta Campaign. First, a soldier who was killed or died or wounds at New Hope would have been involved in actions along the Dallas-New Hope-Acworth line from May 25 to June 4, 1864. Major actions include the Federal assault at New Hope Church, Bate's attack at Dallas, and the Federal attack at Pickett's Mill. Many Confederates became casualties in the day-to-day skirmishes along the lines during this period.

Era Church, also called the Battle of the Poorhouse or Lickskillet Road, took place on July 28, 1864. After the Battle of Atlanta, General Hood wanted to secure this ground and prevent Sherman's army from extending its lines further west towards the rail line from Alabama. Stephen D. Lee, who had just arrived from Mississippi to take command of one of Hood's three corps, found elements of the Federal XV and XVI Corps already in place at his assigned position.
Instead of asking for further instructions, Lee immediately attacked in an attempt to drive the enemy away. His piecemeal assaults on hastily constructed Union defenses during the afternoon were quite costly and gained no ground.
Southern losses were substantial. For instance, the 46th/55th Tennessee Regiments went into this action with about 250 officers and men, and lost 150 killed, wounded and captured. Private W. P. Archer wrote, "The field was as if hogs had been killed. Their flagstaffs were shot to pieces, their banners were shot into ribbons and not more than half of that fine brigade that left that morning returned after the battle." All this happened in three hours.
Confederate troops eventually withdrew, leaving Federal soldiers to bury hundreds of their dead in mass graves the next day. Many Confederate wounded who died in Atlanta hospitals were in Oakland Cemetery. Today a monument at Westview Cemetery in Mozley Park marks the site of this battle.

We also mentioned Newnan. Confederate nurses Kate Cumming and Fannie Beers served in the hospital at Newnan and took care of wounded from both sides after the battle there on July 30, 1864. This engagement primarily involved cavalry, but men from the hospital who could walk shouldered arms and participated in the Confederate victory that day.
