According to my research, by 6 am on July 2, the 43rd NC was on the left of the brigade along the lane that runs in front of the Seminary between the Chambersburg and Fairfield roads, putting Company K about 300 feet south of the Chambersburg road. At that time, I estimate the 43rd had about 435 enlisted men in line, and the regiment lost perhaps seven men that day from artillery fire, including one member of Company K who was struck on the head by a shell and killed. The incoming shells were probably aimed at Reese's battery, which was just in front of the right of the regiment. The regiment stayed there through 7:30 pm (sunset), when it moved south half a mile forming the second line (with O'Neal's brigade) in Rode's division for a contemplated attack against Cemetery Hill, which never took place. The 43rd was still on the left of the brigade on a line that stretched from near the McDonald house on Seminary Ridge to the southwestern corner of the town, Company K being about 1000 feet from the edge of the town. They occupied this position from about 8:10 until 8:40 pm, then the two brigades in the second line moved into town along West Middle Street, Company K of the 43rd being about 180 feet west of the intersection with South Washington Street. They remained there from 9:00 pm on July 2 until after 2:00 am on July 3, when they marched off to Culp's Hill. It is likely that all of the casualties (only seven men as noted) to the regiment on July 2 occurred in their position near the Seminary, and these must have all been caused by enemy artillery fire, principally fragments from exploding shells.
