The 11th Independent Battery
Light Artillery was also known as Havelock's Battery as a member of Taft’s Brigade in the Artillery Reserve, Army of the Potomac. The battery was temporarily atteched to Battery K of the New York Light Artillery and was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by its Captain Robert H. Fitzhugh. The original battery was organized in Providence, Rhode Island and mustered in for a three year enlistment on June 6, 1861 under the command of Captain William H. Reynolds. Commanded by Capt. George W. Davey at the end, the battery was honorably discharged and mustered out June 13, 1865, at Albany, having during its service lost by death, killed in action, 6 enlisted men; of wounds received in action, 2 enlisted men; of disease and other causes, 13 enlisted men; total, 21; of whom I died in the hands of the enemy. As mentioned, the unit was commanded by Captain Robert H. Fitzhugh (1840-1920), a native of Oswego and graduate of Yale. He was wounded at Rappahonack Station (another source has it as Second Manassas) and again at the Battle of The Crater, Petersburg. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Under his command, the battery had a total of 149 men engaged (from both units) (and 6 ordnance rifles) and among them there were 7 men wounded (5 from this battery according to the monument inscription).
The 11th New York Independent Battery Monument is located on the right or east side of 
Hancock Avenue (RD310) if traveling north along the road, north of the Angle. The monument is flanked on both sides by 3-inch ordnance rifles for a total of two at this site; all rifles are pointing to the west. From north to south these Phoenix Iron Co. produced rifles are registered as no. 793 (left of monument if facing east) and no. 224 (right of monument if facing east). The Fitzhugh's Brigade Tablet is 77 feet south of this position. The 1st Company, Andrews Massachusetts Sharpshooters Monument (MN218-A) is 62 feet across the road and the Battery A, 1st Rhode Island Artillery Monument is just a few feet south of that. The 14th Connecticut Infantry Monument (MN217-F) is across the road, 60 feet northwest of this position and the gigantic Major General Meade Equestrian Statue (MN690) is 140 feet northeast of this site. The monument is 476 feet northeast of the High Water Mark Monument (MN230) and Copse of Trees and 628 feet due southish of the Abraham Brian Barn (020). The monument faces due west in the direction where the final Rebel attack originated on July 3, 1863, so on would have to face east to view this, . This area is an absolute beehive of activity as this site represents the best of what Gettysburg has to offer, both historically and monumentally. Parking is plentiful and is available road-side at intermittently enlarged shoulder cut-outs, usually marked with white striping. Be sure to keep vehicles off the grass or you will be ticketed by park police. I visited this monument on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at approximately 5:39 P.M., Eastern Daylight Savings Time. I was at an elevation of 616 feet, ASL. I used a Canon PowerShot 14.1 Megapixel, SX210 IS digital camera for the photos.
