to kill one of the enemy and capture another. I afterwards carried the flag in all the battles in which our regiment participated, until after the battle of Gettysburg, when I was relieved from further duty as color-bearer, because of a wound received during that battle. Sometime after being wounded in action at Antietam, Paul was promoted to the rank of sergeant. After his regiment was reassigned to the Union Army's 1st Corps in 1862, he and his regiment then fought in the Battle of Fredericksburg (December 11-15, 1862).

The command was formed in line of battle, and advanced until it reached the open ground, beyond which the enemy was entrenched. The line was established behind a slight rise of ground, with small trees and bushes in front, the right of the Ninetieth being separated from the rest of the brigade by a road which it was impossible to occupy, being raked by the enemy’s artillery. ‘We lay,’ [said] a report of the battle, ‘in this position some time, when General Griffin, in command of the First Division, rode up and ordered a
