After a short stay, successively, at Long Island, Washington, Annapolis, and Fort Monroe, it arrived November 4th at Port Royal, S. C. Re maining at Hilton Head and its vicinity, the regiment was not under fire until the affair at Secessionville, June 16, 1862, where, under command of Colonel Jackson, it established a reputation for gallantry and efficiency. It took 623 officers and men into that action, sustaining a loss of 9 killed, 93 wounded, and 2 missing; total 104. In 1863 it participated in the operations in Charleston Harbor, and in April, 1864, sailed from Florida to join the Army of the James in Virginia. On the 6th of May, 1864, it landed at Bermuda Hundred with about 800 men, Lt.-Col. Josiah J. Plimpton in command. It was engaged at Drewry's Bluff, May i4th, a memorable day in the history of the Third New Hampshire. In that battle it made a brilliant and successful charge, but with a loss of over 200 men, the loss occurring in less than twenty minutes'time. In July it was armed with Spencer rifles, a breech-loader of rapid and effective fire. At Deep Bottom the regiment lost half its number (12 killed, 71 wounded, and 9 missing), Colonel Plimpton falling, with a bullet through his heart, while leading a charge. The regiment was ordered home a few days later; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field preserved the organization. The Third fought at Fort Fisher—then in Abbott's Brigade — and on July 2oth, 1865, was mustered out of service. _03990
