Colley served in one of the most active and famous units in the Civil War, the 1st Virginia Cavalry, which fought in battles from First Manassas\/Bull Run to the defense of Petersburg. In May 1861, along with the other members of the Washington Mounted Rifles, Colley left his home in Washington County, Virginia, and reported to camp in Richmond. During the war, he received wounds on three different occasions: first at Waterloo Bridge in 1862, again at Kelly\u2019s Ford in 1863, and finally at Haw\u2019s Shop in 1864. The wound received at Haw\u2019s Shop resulted in the amputation of his left foot, thereby ending his wartime service.<\/p>\n<p>Michael K.
