They have altered the duty here a little so that we go to the front or on the picket lines and stop 24 hours and then we fall back into the main line where we stop 48 hours and then we go back to camp where we stay 48 hours and then go out again. It’s a little better than staying at the front 3 days as it was at first… We had a man killed on picket yesterday; the first man our regiment have lost since we have been there. He belong to cap A and his name was Turner [listed on the Report of Sick and Wounded]. He stuck his head up out of the pit and was popped by a Reb sharpshooter. They have commenced the picket firing the whole length of the line so that a man has to keep pretty close.”
