The Regiment left Worcester, Aug. 15, 1862, and arrived at Arling- ton Heights, Va., Aug. 18.
On the 24th marched to Alexandria, where the Regiment remained doing garri- son duty until May 1st,
1863, when it marched to Upton's Hill. June 2d went to Washington, D.C.; while there performed guard and provost duty,
and was noted for perfection in drill, discipline, neatness, and splendid condition of men, arms, and accoutrements.
July 9th went to Maryland Heights, and on the 14th crossed the Potomac in pontoon boats, and drove
the enemy from Harper's Ferry, Va. Oct. 18, fought and routed twice their number of Imboden's rebel mounted infantry, near Ripon,
capturing many prision- ers. In December formed part of a force of 1500 men, who, under com- mand of Col. Wells, of the
34th, ad- vanced up the Shenandoah Valley to Harrisonburg, 100 miles, to co- operate with Gen. Averill in his
fa- mous raid on the Virginia and Tenn. R. R. The expedition returned to Harper's Ferry in 93 hours, without a straggler
or the loss of a single man, and with over 100 prisoners. In March, 1864, went to Martins- burg, and April 29th
advanced with Gen. Sigel's command up the Shen- andoah Valley. May 15th were hotly engaged in the battle of New
|
Mustered into the U.S. Service, July 31, 1862. By Captain Cooley, U.S.A. at Worcester, Mass |
Market: June 5th fought at Pied- mont, Va., under Gen Hunter; reached Staunton the
6th, and fought at Lynchburg the 18th of June. In the retreat from that place to Kanawha Valley the
men suffered greatly for want of provisions. Next fought at Island Ford, near Snicker's Gap, July 18th, with a
portion of Gen. Early's army; at Winchester, July 24th, and at Martinsburg, July 25th. 26th
Aug., at Halltown, at- tacked the enemy's skirmish line, drove it from its position, and cap- tured many prisoners. Were in
all the actions under Sheridan in the Valley, being hotly engaged at Ber- ryville, Sept. 3d, Winchester, Sept. 19th,
Fisher's Hill, Sept. 22. Next fought near Strasburg, Oct. 13th-in this engagement the Regt. suffered terribly,
losing in killed & wounded 102 out of 240 men engaged. Here brave Col. G. D. Wells, com'ding the Brigade, was killed-
a braver man never lived, or one that was more loved and respected by the officers and men of his command. Were engaged at
Cedar Creek, Oct. 19th, where Gen. Sheridan performed one of the greatest achievements of the war, in changing
a disastrous defeat into a brilliant and decisive victory. December 19th were ordered to the James, and are
now attached to the Independent Div., 24th A. Corps.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This memorial poster was commissioned in the waning days of the Civil War. Listed are most, but not all, of the men who served with this company. Most of them came from Western Massachusetts, particularly from the communities around Greenfield. Posters like this represent the beginning of a torrent of commemorative items from the nation's bloodiest war, an industry that continues to this day. The printers adorned it with symbols from the army's major branches: to the left, an infantry or artilleryman is going to "obey our country's call;" to the right, a cavalryman is given a "welcome home." Above, an artillery unit shells a distant coastal fort. On the bottom part of the poster, between the unit's history, lies a large engraving of a generic battle scene.
