At the Battle of Williamsburg, 5 May 1862, the 2nd Florida engaged two Union regiments southeast of the town. COL Ward, the 2nd Florida’s commander, was killed in action and the regiment was forced to retreat to a second position. Once the lines stabilized, 1LT Fleming joined a party to recover COL Ward’s body, but was himself wounded. Brought to the town of Williamsburg by his brother and several volunteers, 1LT Fleming was not evacuated as the Confederates retreated from the town and he was captured the next day.
