It was organized in August, 1861, with fifteen companies, five of which were disbanded in 1862 and the men distributed to the other ten companies. In the fall of 1861, the regiment was in Stone's Division, which was guarding the Maryland side of the Upper Potomac. In March, 1862, it moved up the Shenandoah Valley in Banks's command, but was transferred soon after to the Peninsular Army. There the Philadelphia Brigade was placed under command of General Wm. W. Burns, and was assigned to Sedgwick's Division. At Savage Station — one of the Seven Days battles—the regi ment lost 14 killed and 85 wounded; at Antietam it fought under Scdgwick at the Dunker Church, where it lost 38 killed, 163 wounded, and 36 missing; total, 237. General Alex. S. Webb commanded the brigade at Gettys burg. In that battle the Seventy-second occupied an exposed position during the terrible artillery firing of the third day, and then took a conspicuous part in the repulse of Pickett's Virginians. The monument of the Seventy-second, which stands on that historic spot, states in its inscription, that the regiment had 473 men in line that day and that their loss was 44 killed, 145 wounded, and 2 missing; total, 191. At Mine Run, Lieutenant-Colonel Theodore Hesser was killed on the skirmish line, while in command of the regiment. Its shortened lines were actively engaged in all the battles of the Wilderness campaign, and then, while in the trenches before Petersburg, August, 1864, it received the order for its muster-out. _08057
