22nd Battalion, Georgia Heavy Artillery

22nd Artillery (Siege) Battalion was organized at Savannah, Georgia, during the summer of 1861 with six companies, increased to nine in the spring of 1864. Many of the men were from Burrow, Oglethorpe, Montgomery, and Cobb counties. The unit was attached to the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and served in the Georgia coast at Fort Pulaski and Fort McAllister. In 1865, operating as infantry in Elliot's Brigade, it saw action in the North Carolina Campaign and surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. The field officers were Lieutenant Colonel William R. Prichard, and Majors J.B. Gallie, Lawrence J. Guilmartin, and Mark J. McMullan.

Predecessor unit:

Burtwell's-Girardey's-Pritchard's Battery was organized at Athens, Georgia, in April, 1861, with men from Clarke County. It participated in the fight at Shiloh, then was assigned to J.K. Jackson's Brigade and fought with the Army of Tennessee from Murfreesboro to Missionary Ridge. The company was later converted to heavy artillery and attached to the 22nd Georgia Artillery Battalion. Its captains were John R.B.Burtwell, Isadore P. Girardey, and W.R. Pritchard.
