Findlay in Southern Victory
Findlay was a U.S. strongpoint which temporarily delayed the Confederate offensive Operation Blackbeard. Lt. Col. Tom Colleton's regiment was stalled by U.S. artillery and machinegun emplacements until General George Patton personally organized an armour attack consisting of three three-barrel platoons. This allowed the Confederates to bypass the town forcing the U.S. defenders to retreat or be encircled. One of those defenders was Armstrong Grimes and the unit he belonged to.
