NOTES. —Eleven officers of the Seventh New Hampshire were killed in the assault on Fort Wagner. This was the largest number of officers killed in any one action of the war, belonging to any one regiment. After the naval bombardment of Fort Wagner had ceased — July i£, 1863 — the assaulting column of troops was formed on the beach in the fast-deepening gloom of the southern twilight, and, then, when the night had already set in, advanced against the fort, guided only by the flashes of the garrison's rifles and the fire which streamed from the rmu/les of the heavy guns. Although the assault was a failure, some of the men succeeded in forcing an entrance, Colonel Putnam, who commanded the Second Brigade, falling dead within the fort. The casualties amounted to 41 killed, 119 wounded, and 56 missing; of the latter, few ever returned. In February, 1864, the regiment, 650 strong, sailed from Hilton Head with Seymour's Division, bound for Florida. It was engaged on the 2oth, in the disastrous affair at Olustee, Fla., with a loss of 209 killed, wounded, and missing. In April, 1864, it proceeded to Virginia, where it joined the Army of the James, taking an honorable part in all the battles of the Tenth Corps. Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas A. Henderson fell, mortally wounded, at Deep Bottom. The regiment participated in the successful storming of Fort Fisher, after which it remained in North Carolina, being then a part of Abbott's Brigade, Tenth Corps. It was mustered out at Goldsborough, N. C., July 17, 1865. _04079
