Assigned to Quarles' Brigade, the 4^th Louisiana Regiment took part in S. D. Lee's bloody and fruitless attacks on the afternoon of July 28, 1864. Confederate accounts call this the Battle of the Poorhouse, or Lickskillet Road; Federal accounts refer to their victory as Ezra Church. Apparently David Lowrance was among thousands of Confederates who bled on this unfortunate battlefield.

Harry Davis, Co. "G", 46^th Ohio, brought off the "very handsome" flag of the 30^th Louisiana Regiment during the fighting that day.
