Laurie,I think that the other officer was-Col.Patrick O'Rorke-NY-140th.He led a charge and was killed at "Little Round Top".He was noted for saying,"Down this way-Boys".It is "good luck"to rub his nose on his monument at Gettysburg.Because he died,some thought that he didn't get as much credit as he should have.He was born in Ireland and came to Rochester,NY as a young boy.There is a new bridge in his name,that goes over The Genesee River.
