About this time he became second lieutenant in the company in which he had first enlisted. Dr. W. was at the battle of Chickamauga and was again wounded, though not se- verely. In the investment of Chattanooga and in the retreat from Missionary Ridge he was present, and while in winter quar- ters at Dal ton (1863-4) temporary appointment on the staff of Brigadier-General Lewis.
