OCTOBER 8, 1862.--Battle of Perryville, or Chaplin Hills, Ky.
No. 8.--Report of Maj. Frederick J. Lock, Thirty-third Ohio Infantry.
HDQRS. THIRTY-THIRD REGT. OHIO VOL. INFANTRY,
Camp near Harrodsburg, Ky., October 13, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith my official report of the loss sustained by this regiment in the action at Chaplin Hills on the 8th instant:
It is deemed unnecessary to enter into a minute detail of the action of my command on that day. The brigade commander, by his presence at the different parts of the field, is no doubt familiar with the conduct of this regiment.
At an early period of the action Lieut. Col. O. F. Moore, commanding, was wounded while gallantly encouraging his men, and, refusing assistance to leave the field, fell into the hands of the enemy. His wound, I am happy to state, was not dangerous, and he has since been paroled.
With the conduct of my officers and men I am perfectly content. My orders were at all times obeyed with alacrity, and their conduct throughout the whole engagement merits my approbation.
The loss sustained was 21 killed, 74 wounded, and l0 missing; total, 105.(*) Of the number reported to be missing 6 are known now to have been captured and paroled.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
F. J. LOCK,
Major, Commanding.
Lieut. G. A. VANDEGRIFT,
Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
Note: There is no indication of the number of men in his regiment that went into this action
