NOTES. —Organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pa., on October 21, 1861, the men having been enlisted mostly in Tioga, Centre, and I^ancaster Counties. It embarked at Baltimore, November i9th, for Fort Monroe, and after remaining there a month re-embarked for Hilton Head, S. C. It returned to Virginia in August, 1862, having been assigned to Willcox's (ist) Division, Ninth Corps; Colonel Welsh was placed in command of the brigade. At South Mountain the Forty-fifth drove the Confederates from a strong position, but their gallantry cost them a loss of 27 killed and 107 wounded. In the spring of 1863, the Ninth Corps was transferred to the Western Army; it subsequently took part in the operations about Vicksburg, and then in the fighting with Long-street's Corps at the Siege of Knoxville, Tenn. In January, 1864, 426 of the men reenlisted for the war, thus ensuring a continuance of the regimental organization. The Ninth Corps having returned to Virginia in 1864, the regiment participated in Grant's campaigns and was hotly engaged at the Wilderness, where it lost 17 killed, 119 wounded, and 7 missing ; and at Cold Harbor, where 181, or over half the regiment were killed or wounded, Major Kelsey being among the killed. The Forty-fifth took part in all the hard fighting at Petersburg, Colonel Curtin falling severely wounded in the assault of June 18. In the fighting at the crater of the exploded Mine, it captured the flag of the Sixth Virginia. The regiment was mustered out July 17, 1865. _07636
