I posted this list in 2013 so some interested may not have seen it before.

We have a current thread on the 11th Miss. at Gettysburg and the severe losses taken on the 3rd day. Also in that thread I posted some information about Albert Peel of the 19th Mississippi wherein his diary he confirms that Elie and William (Billie) Peel of the 11th were his cousins.
After the battle Albert says this:
"Friday, July 3, 1863 - We were under heavy cannonading from 8 till 9 am Davises Brigade came up at 12 o’clock we were shelled severely until 3pm. Pedegrews Davise's Brigade & Lanes Brigade charged the enemy & were badly cut to pieces, had to fall back in great confusion, they suffered greatly I’ve looked for Billie & Elie Peel, they are missing only 3 of the company are found, the battle has raged all day & is raging now, its getting dark."
As we know Billie Peel was captured and died a prisoner in January 1865. Unfortunately his brother Elie’s name is found on the list of Mississippians killed in the battle.
