The 11th Mississippi was on the extreme left of General Davis’s Brigade and would have been severely punished by Union flanking fire after Brockenbrough’s Virginia brigade fled the field. Company A famously included students from the University of Mississippi known as “The University Greys” and suffered 100% casualties in killed and wounded on July 3. Veteran Baxter McFarland wrote postwar that the entire regiment’s official casualty returns of 32 killed and 170 wounded were understated. True losses, including those ascertained to be killed or wounded later, were tallied by McFarland as 103 killed and 207 wounded/captured for a total of 310 out of 350 engaged. 2
