Capt. William H. H. Walters
Co. H 18th Ga. Inf.
CSA

William H. H. Walters enrolled in the Rowland Highlander’s as a private in June of 1861.  The Rowland Highlanders was one of ten companies in a new regiment raised by Major J. Johnson and Adjutant John Griffin from Bartow County, Georgia. This new regiment was designated as the First Regiment, Fourth Brigade, Georgia State Volunteers. The regiment began training at Camp McDonald in Big Shanty, Georgia. In August the regiment departed Georgia for Richmond, Virginia.  After a six day train trip the men of the Rowland Highlander’s disembarked in Richmond on August 9, 1861. After arriving in Richmond the regiment was mustered into the Confederate States Army as the 18th Georgia Regiment of Volunteer Infantry. At this time the Highlander’s were designated as Company H. In November the 18th Georgia was brigaded with the 1st , 4th, and 5th Texas Infantry Regiments. This Texas Brigade would play a prominent role in the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia.

As a member of Company H of the 18th Georgia Infantry Captain Walters served through out the war. It was noted that he was injured while on detail at Sharpsburg, Maryland on September 19, 1862. The nature of this injury is not known. The date indicates that the injury occurred after the Battle of Antietam. Nothing is mentioned about any action taking place on this date in the after battle reports of General John Bell Hood (Division Commander), Colonel William T. Wofford (Commanding the Texas Brigade), or Colonel S. Z. Ruff (Commanding the 18th Georgia Infantry). Captain Walters was appointed 1st Sergeant in March of 1864 and Second Lieutenant in October of the same year. There is no record of his promotion to Captain. He appears on the roll of the regiment on January 31, 1865.
