portion of the enemy which had taken position near Kernstown. . . . Herbert was
ordered to take position with his battalion of infantry on the right of Gordon. ....
When Hays' and Gordon's skirmishers had advanced to Bowers' Hill, Major W. W. Golds-
borough, of the Maryland battalion, with the skirmishers from that battalion, had advanced
into the outskirts of the town of Winchester, but fearing that the enemy would shell the

Jones and the conduct of himself and his artillery were admirable. I must also commend the
gallantry of Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert and Major Goldsborough, of the Maryland Line,
and their troops.
