NOTES. —It left the State on October 19, 1861, joining the Vermont Brigade at Camp Griffin, Va., near Chain Bridge. Within a month one-third of the men were on the sick list, the brigade being attacked by some peculiar epidemic, from which the adjoining camps were comparatively exempt. When the regiment took the field in March, 1862, over 50 deaths had occurred from disease. Its first experience under fire was at Lee's Mills, Va., near Yorktown. In that fight five companies crossed and re-crossed the Warwick River—fording it waist deep — under a sharp fire, with a loss of 13 killed and 67 wounded. In the affair at Funkstown, Md., July 10, 1863, the Vermont Brigade, with no supports near, held successfully a long skirmish line against an attack made by a strong force of Confederate infantry. Its efficiency in this action was fully recognized in the official reports of both division and corps commanders. The loss of the Sixth at Funkstown was 3 killed and 19 wounded, the men having fought mostly under cover. At the Wilderness the regiment lost 34 killed, 155 wounded, and 7 missing; total, 196. Colonel Barney, who commanded the Sixth at Marye's Heights and in the subsequent campaigns, was killed at the Wilderness. At the Opequon the Sixth lost 5 killed and 45 wounded ; and at Cedar Creek, 5 killed, 32 wounded, and 11 missing. The original regiment was mustered out October 16, 1864, leaving about 320 effectives — recruits and reenlisted men — in the field. _04385
