Pee Dee Light Artillery

Half the unit remained with Captain Warley and served the remainder of the war as the Darlington Guards.

The battery fought with General Jackson at the Battles of Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Chantilly, Harpers Ferry, Sharpsburg and the Fredericksburg.

In 1864 the Pee Dee Light Artillery served around Charleston Harbor until they were utilized in an effort to slow down Sherman’s March to the Sea.

In 1865, the Pee Dee Light Artillery continued as part of the Confederate forces under General Johnston.

The battle flag remained in the hands of the members of the Pee Dee Light Artillery in the Darlington area until 1905, when it was turned over to the South Carolina Legislature by surviving veterans.
