NOTES. —A German regiment, organized through the exertions of Colonel Willich, an officer who had seen sqrvice in the German army, and who, also, achieved a brilliant success in the War of the Rebellion. The regi ment left Indiana in September, proceeding to Kentucky where it served for several months. While on duty at Rowlett's Station, Ky.> guarding a railroad bridge, it was attacked on December 17, 1861, by a superior force under General Hindman, but succeeded in repulsing the attack. The gallantry of the regiment in this affair elicited a special order from General Buell, acknowledging the service performed. The loss of the Thirty-second in that fight was n killed, 22 wounded, and 5 missing, out of 418 engaged. In February, 1862, it moved to Bowling Green, Ky., and thence to Nashville, where it remained a short time, after which it marched to Shiloh, then in Rousseau's Division. Its loss at Shiloh was 10 killed and 86 wounded. At Stone's River, -then in Johnson's Division—it lost 12 killed, 40 wounded, and 115 missing or captured; at Liberty Gap, 7 killed, and 19 wounded; at Chickamauga, 21 killed, 81 wounded, and 20 missing. Upon the reorganization of the Fourth Corps, in October, 1863, it was assigned to Willich's (ist) Brigade, Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it fought at Missionary Ridge,— where Major Jacob Glass was killed,— and, also, in the Atlanta campaign. After the fall of Atlanta, the regiment was ordered home for muster-out; the recruits and reenlisted men remaining in the field weie formed into a residuary battalion of four companies, which garri soned Chattanooga until June, 1865.
