Promoted Corporal, Jan. 4, 1863; died, June 5, 1863, while on the passage from Springfield Landing to Baton Rouge. Corporal Gale performed the latter part of the march to Port Hudson under severe suffering, went into the fight on the 27th of May, and remained in the ravines until the withdrawal of the regiment to the woods, when he was taken with a severe fever, and died in a few days,—even in his delirium expressing the fear that he was not doing his full duty. The writer will be allowed to pay this slight tribute to the memory of a messmate and friend, whose loss was mourned by all who knew him.

He was killed early in the engagement.
