&quot;The Angel of Marye&#x27;s Heights&quot; Sgt Richard Kirkland - Company G, South Carolina Infantry gained fame for his act of compassion during Battle of Fredericksburg. Kirkland, hearing the cries of wounded Union soldiers, gathered canteens from his fellow Confederates and left the protection of a stone wall to give a little comfort to his wounded enemies. It was one of the most remarkable acts of the entire war. Sadly, Kirkland was killed September 20, 1863 during the Battle of Chickamauga.
