NOTES. —This regiment was in active service less than a year, and yet its percentage of killed was one of the highest of the war. It left the State April 18, 1864, proceeding to Annapolis where it joined the Ninth Corps -First Brigade, First Division, and marched soon after on its way to join the Army of the Potomac. At the Wil derness it was hotly engaged, and with severe loss, its casualties amounting to 57 killed, 158 wounded, and 30 missing; total, 245 out of 24 officers and 521 men engaged; one company, H, was not in this action, having been detailed on duty elsewhere just at that time.
