Not sure its a Officer's plate.It doesn't look to have the background stippling and it had applied wreaths.i would guess enlisted?

Actually it was the site of a old mill where there was a small battle when Union Calvary caught Confederate units getting a re supply of grain. After the battle the union burned the mill and all the fields surrounding it.
