From a recent photograph. baUle Qf Chickamauga found himself once more a prisoner. He also, like Wollam, was recognized andreceived much ill treatment on account of the former adventure. Martin J. Hawkins returned to the army and served till the close of thewar as a private. He was wounded in the back of the head by a shell atthe battle of Chickamauga, but managed to keep with his comrades whenthey fell back to Chattanooga, as he had no wish to try the rebel prisonsagain.
