In the spring of 1862 it was assigned to duty in Banks's Corps, then in the Shenandoah Valley, whereupon its active service immediately commenced. It formed part of a cavalry brigade, under General John P. Hatch, with which it took an active part in the fighting at Winchester, May 25, 1862, and on Banks's retreat. In these operations the regiment, acting as a rear guard, lost 105 men, captured or missing, in addition to their killed and wounded. At Gettysburg it was in Farnsworth's (ist) Brigade, Kilpatrick's (3d) Division, Cavalry Corps. On the third day of that battle, Kilpatrick committed the serious error of ordering Farnsworth to charge a large body of Confederate infantry who held a strong |>osition, protected by stone walls. Farnsworth's men, led by the First Vermont, leaping their horses over the intervening walls and fences, made a gallant but useless attack; Farnsworth was killed, and the regiment lost 13 killed, 25 wounded, and 27 missing. The First Vermont was one of the best mounted regiments in the service. In addition to the actions mentioned in the above list, in which it lost men killed or mortally wounded, it participated in as many more, in which it sustained losses in wounded or prisoners. 10 _04206
