THE BATTLE OF NEW MARKET was fought
between 5,500 Union Troops under Gen. Franz
Sigel and 4,500 Confederates under Gen. John C.
Ż Breckinridge. The Confederates made their attack
from Shirley's Hill, sweeping thru and around
both sides of New Market with the V. M. I. cadet
battalion in the second line of battle. These cadets,
mere boys, won immortal fame and glory for their
bravery and gallantry, and for their part in the vic-
tory against greater numbers. Of the 221 cadets in
the battalion, 8 were killed and 46 wounded.
