Colonel Duncan L. Clinch Jr., son of the antebellum general
officer of the United States army, commanded the Fourth Georgia Cavalry at
Olustee. The unit, consisting of about 250 men, suffered four men wounded
during the battle.
Colonel Caraway Smith noted in his official report that, "One
of the wounded men is missing, and supposed now to be dead." Colonel
Clinch is the only identified casualty from his regiment, as an examination of
the unit CSRs did not identify the three other men listed as wounded. Colonel
Clinch was wounded in the leg during the opening part of the battle.
