So were the 11th part of Posey's or Barksdale's Brigades AUG ?
Welp, @Hussar Yeomanry beat me too it... but yeah, it was part of Law's Brigade, Whiting's/Hood's Division, before being transferred to Joseph R. Davis' Brigade in late 1862, serving in his brigade throughout the rest of the war.So were the 11th part of Posey's or Barksdale's Brigades AUG ?
I don't ever recall it being part of Archer's, though.Prior to that they were with Falkner's Brigade, then Bee's, then Whiting's, then Law's, then Archer's and then Davis'!

Falkner's/Bee's/Whiting's/Law's Brigade was the same brigade, aka the "Old Third Brigade," until later reorganized as an all-Alabama brigade after the non-Alabama regiments were transferred out.
