    Richmond Howitzers 1st Company

    Join the Richmond Howitzers Battalion today!
    An elite battalion, the Howitzers served with distinction from 1st Manassas to Appomattox during the Civil War, and are still active as the 111th Field Artillery in the Virginia National Guard.








    Apply for the Howitzers here!





    Main Battery

    Richmond Howitzers, 1st Company
    Commanding Officer: Capt. E. S. McCarthy

    Battlefield: West Woods | Against: Gorman's Brigade's
    Battlefield: Hauser's Ridge | Against: 15th Massachusetts
    Arms:
    2 10-pdr. Parrott
    2 6-pdr. Gun




    Reserves

    Richmond Howitzers, 2nd Company Reserve
    Commanding Officer: Capt. D. Watson
    Battlefield: Williamsport 19th of September supporting Stuarts Cavalry
    Arms:
    2 10-pdr. Parrott
    1 12-pdr. Howitzer
    1 6-pdr. Piece that could shoot Hotchkiss shells (After talks with Historical Adviser George Crecy this is probably a Blakely. Less Likely but also possible this could be a Wiard of which a few where captured from Union forces.)

    Richmond Howitzers, 3rd Company Reserve
    Commanding Officer: Capt. Benjamin H. Smith, Jr.
    Battlefield: No activity during Antietam
    Arms:
    2 10-pdr. Parrott
    1 12-pdr. Light Boat Howitzer
    1 12-pdr. Rifled Howitzer

    From the diary of a 3rd Company member
    [Before the 6th August 1862:
    1x 10 pdr. Parrot
    2x Boat Howitzer]

    August 6th.- Our Parrot gun was ordered to the south side of the James river about a week since, and we, as yet, have heard nothing from it. The second Company Howitzers left at the same time, and placed in the Third Company's charge their Rifled Howitzer. A few days ago since we exchanged one of our little brass boat howitzers for another 10 pound Parrot gun .... etc.

    For those who are interested but don't want to sit around waiting. We don't have to, if you have acces we can drill as infantry or fall in with one of the other fine infantry companies around.
