The Swedish volunteers had a minor loss against the Yankees at the Second Bull Run battlefield. After the first day our commanders really belived that we would drive the yankees back. But our men was very tired and got pushed back by the yankee counterattack the next morning.
My right flank collapsed but I could succesfully evacuate most of the units on that flank, but then my artillery ammunition run out and we had to give up. Thanks 1st Lt. Jack Waldron for a great and entertaining battle hope I can win against you next time!

Our brigade lost an important battle at Shiloh, both sides suffered huge losses. The confederate army lost over 17 000 men and when we surrendered to the union Commander we only had 12 000 fightin men left.
Hope our brigade can revenge our brothers who died on that battlefield soon!
