After being warned not to unfurl the colors for fear they would be lost declared "the colors must fly,". He planted the colors on the enemy works and used his Colt revolver to fight off the Confederates attempting to seize it. Two other Color Corp. were killed. For his actions William Gundlack was promoted Color Sergeant.

On the 18th of June 1864 the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Infantry fought in the battle of Petersburg. Color Sergeant Gunlack was wounded while carrying the Colors.

"Here is a A CO Roster written (possibly written by someone else and later verified) by 1st SGT John Freeman. He is listed on this Roster as a private yet has a is SGTs stamp on it so, who knows. The existance of CPL Wm. Gundlach in 4th Squad is an indication that this was written before 1863 and thus before Freeman was made 1st SGT. Anyway it is an invaluable document as it provides evidence of SQUAD assignments.
