The Federal Line on July 3 1863?

This question is very vague. But, on July 3, 1863, Brigadier General Lewis Armistead's Virginians of Major General George E. Pickett's Division broke the Union Line at the Angle on Cemetery Ridge, just north of the Clump of Trees. "The Angle" refers to a low stonewall which runs in a north-south direction from the Abraham Brian farm, then juts west about 40 yards before turining 90 degress and continuing in a southerly direction. On July 3, 1863, this low stonewall was occupied by Brigadier General Alexander Webb's Brigade of the 1st Division of Major General Winfield Scott Hancock's 2nd Corps of the Army of the Potomac. The salient of the angle was occupied by the 71st Pennsylvania Infantry who is also known as the "California Regiment." On the left of the 71st PA was the 72nd PA, followed by the 69th PA, which was located directly in front of the Clump of Trees and in the rear of the 69th PA was the 106th PA. Webb's Brigade supported Battery A of the 4th United States Artillery which was commanded by Lt. Alonzo Cushing. When Brigadier General Armistead's men approached the stonewall, they noticed a 200 foot gap in the wall because the 72nd PA had broke from their position, leaving Cushing's guns and the flanks of the 71st and 69th PA exposed. Armistead balanced his blakc felt hat upon his sword as he led his men over the stonewall and into the Union Lines. Armistead was mortally wounded, allegedly placing a hand on one of Cushing's last working guns. This question is very vague.
