April 11, 1865.

I have the honor to submit the following report of operations in which the Fifth New Hampshire Battalion Volunteers participated from the 28th day of March to date:

March 28 was spent in camp in preparation from the campaign, the regiment being inspected at 4 o'clock by the colonel commanding the brigade; clothing, arms, and equipments also inspected by the regimental commander. Orders being received during the night, camp was broken, and the regiment marched at the head of the brigade at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 29th; crossed Hatcher's Run and formed line of battle on the left of the brigade, connecting on the left with General Madill, Third Brigade, advancing toward the enemy's works until dark; bivouacked in line of battle, advancing again soon after daylight in a heavy rain which filled the creeks and rivers.

Our skirmishers found the enemy at 10 o'clock; the line was halted and breat-works thrown up; the lieutenant-colonel commanding the regiment being detailed as officer of the day the regiment was left in
