The following list of casualties in the engagement at Clary's Farm was also furnished me by Major Glover, but the memorandum is without date.

Major John V. Glover and the other mounted officers of the regi- ment procured remounts from the horses of the battery captured on the 1 6th of May at Drewry's Bluff. A few days afterwards the major was kicked on the leg by his vicious horse. Though lamed, he con- tinued to lead the regiment with his accustomed ability and gallantry for two or three weeks afterwards, till a shot from the enemy's lines took off his little finger.

The major was sent to the hospital, where erysipelas supervened on his wounds, and South Carolina lost another of her brave sons, and the Twenty fifth South Carolina volunteers an officer, honored, respected and loved by every officer and man of the regi- ment.
