Re: 20th Battalion VA heavy artillery

Michael,

The 20th Bn. of Heavy Artillery was part of Crutchfield's Artillery Brigade, along with the 10th, 18th, and 19th Heavy Artillery Battalions. Crutchfield's Brigade also contained a battalion of 5 independent batteries which were light artillery manning heavy guns at Chaffin's Bluff, south of Drewry's Bluff. Crutchfield's Brigade was noted for their gallantry at the Battle of Sayler's Creek.
