NOTES. —Recruited at Worthington, Ohio, in September, 1861. It left Camp Chase, February 18, 1862, and proceeded to Paducah, Ky., where it was assigned to Sherman's Division. In March it embarked for Pittsburg Landing, encamping there until the battle of Shiloh, in which it lost 37 killed, 185 wounded, and 24 missing; total, 246. After taking part in the siege of Corinth the regiment spent the ensuing twelve months of 1862-63 in doing guard duty along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and on provost duty in Memphis ; in the spring of 1863, if served a while as mounted infantry on scouting expeditions. On June i2th, 1863, the Forty-sixth moved to Vicksburg, where its division assisted in the siege operations of that time, the regiment being then in Hicks's Brigade, W. S. Smith's Division, Sixteenth Corps. In October, 1863, this division embarked for Mem phis where it was transferred to the Fifteenth Corps, with which it moved soon after to Chattanooga where it fought at Missionary Ridge, and then marched to the relief of Knoxville, the latter campaign being one un paralleled for its privations and hardships. While in winter-quarters at Scottsboro, Ala., the regiment was armed with Spencer Repeating Rifles, which proved very effective in the ensuing Atlanta campaign. In that campaign the Forty-sixth was in Walcutt's (2d) Brigade, Harrow's (4th) Division, Fifteenth Corps. Major Henry H. Giesy was killed at Dallas. Having reenlisted, the regiment remained in service throughout the war, accompa nying Sherman's Army as it " went marching through Georgia " and across the Carolinas to Virginia.
