Chamberlain waiting south of Gettysburg to get into the battle finally gets the call to move just as the confederate army began the attacks. Chamberlain orders his brother to move to the rear of the formation. As the regiment passes Big Round Top and moves onto Little Round Top, Vincent places Chamberlain’s regiment onto the southeastern side. He leaves him with the specific instructions to guard that line…not to retreat and to “defend this place to the last.” Chamberlain's men immediately begin digging in, piling up rocks to build a stone wall. Chamberlain orders one of his men, Morrill, to take his company farther out to the left, in case the Confederates try to go around the Twentieth Maine and surprise them from the side.
