11th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry

11th Miss fought in the 4th Brigade (Brig. Gen. JOSEPH R. DAVIS)/ HETH'S DIVISION/ 3rd Army Corps (Lt. Gen. AP HILL) under Col. F. M. Green at Gettysburg. Cole was probably captured after "Picket's Charge".

Except from 11th Mississippi Infantry, A Brief History by Stephen R. Davis

The 11th Mississippi was in the front line of assault. The attack was made by Pickett’s, Pettigrew’s, and Trimble’s Divisions, but is generally known only as "Pickett’s Charge." Davis’ Brigade was the second leftmost in the attack, but when the brigade to its left faltered, it became the left flank of the attack. The 11th Mississippi was leftmost in the brigade, and thus presented its open flank to Federal artillery and infantry fire. Casualties were horrific.

In a valiant and futile last charge, the 11th Mississippi reached the stone wall at Gettysburg, behind which were Federal soldiers four ranks deep. The colors of the regiment, and many of its men, were captured there at the wall. Others, the wounded and the few not wounded, felt their way back across the deadly mile they had just crossed. The 11th Mississippi had lost 103 killed, 166 wounded, and 41 captured. There were only 40 men left unwounded.
