TFA blurb review
Landis's Missouri Battery was an artillery battery that served in the Confederate States Army during the early stages of the American Civil War. The battery was formed in late 1861 and early 1862 and fielded two 12-pounder Napoleon cannons (example pictured) and two 24-pounder howitzers, and a maximum of 62 men. The battery saw limited action at the Battle of Iuka before providing artillery support at the Second Battle of Corinth, both in 1862. It formed part of Confederate defenses at the battles of Port Gibson and Champion Hill in May 1863. The unit may have suffered the capture of two cannons during the Battle of Big Black River Bridge. Landis's Battery next saw action during the Siege of Vicksburg, but was captured when the Confederate garrison there surrendered on July 4. Although the surviving men of the battery were exchanged, the battery was not reorganized; instead, it was absorbed into Guibor's Missouri Battery along with Wade's Missouri Battery.

 * - I've provided another link into it (the 24-pounder howitzers article now exists), but it looks great other than that. Thanks for the blurb.  Once I get the article moved, I'll probably be making a non-specific date TFA nomination for this one. Hog Farm Bacon 17:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
