MILITARY SERVICE

Pvt George W. Dudley served in the 15th Alabama Regiment, CSA, Col William C. Oates, commanding. In the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2nd, the 15th Alabama Regiment was on the most right flank of confederate forces. The fighting was fierce and the regiment was surrounded near Little Round Top. The 15th Alabama was up against the 20th Maine Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Chamberlain. More than 2/3 of the 15th Alabama were casualties or captured that day. Col Oates wrote: "After all had got up, I ordered the rolls of the companies to be called. When the battle commenced, four hours previously, I had the strongest and finest regiment on Hood's division. Its effectives numbered nearly 700 officers and men. Now 225 answered at roll call, and more than one-half of my officers had been left on the field." More than likely, George Dudley was among those captured on July 2nd, 1863.
