Dial joined Company E of Cobb’s Georgia Legion in 1862. At some time before March 1863 he was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. On March 10, 1863 he tendered his resignation for two stated reason. First, he could not occupy a position in the company of a commander that was dissatisfied with his performance. Secondly, he states that he can serve his county better at home than in the Army.  Captain King accepted his resignation with the declaration that he was incompetent as an officer.
