In May it joined Banks's command at Harper's Ferry, having been assigned to Prince's Brigade, of Augur's Division, in which it fought at Cedar Mountain. The regiment was commanded in that battle by Major Walker, its casualties amounting to 7 killed, 74 wounded, and 9 missing. The division, under General Greene, distinguished itself at Antietam by the tenacity with which it held its position near the Dunker Church. The regiment took only 243 men into that action, but lost 26 killed, 76 wounded, and 8 missing. In March, 1863, the One Hundred and Eleventh was one of ten regiments in the Army of the Potomac, especially mentioned in General Orders as standing best in the inspection reports. In September, 1863, the corps was ordered to Tennessee, and on October 28, 1863, the regiment fought at Wau hatchie, Tenn., where Major Boyle was killed. In the Atlanta campaign its fighting was continuous and severe, the hardest battle for the One Hundred and Eleventh occurring at Peach Tree Creek, where Colonel Cobham was killed. The regiment marched from Atlanta to the sea, and while in the Carolinas the One Hundred and Ninth Pennsylvania was discontinued, and the men were transferred to its ranks.
