The 136th NYSV covered the brigade's advance at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek.� Deployed to the right of the line between other Federal units, it was to buy time for the division to deploy.��In the ensuing engagement, the skirmishers went into action with other units and not their own brigade.� Dennis Buckley knocked the color bearer of the 31st Mississippi down with his rifle butt.� While jubilantly waving the captured flag at the Confederate lines, a bullet glanced off the flagstaff and struck Buckley in the forehead, killing him instantly.� His Medal of Honor was given to his mother after the war.
